The document details the functionalities of MarcEdit's automated editing feature, focusing on script creation and watch folders that facilitate process automation for various tasks such as format conversions and file joins. It elaborates on the use of the MarcEdit script wizard, which provides templates for data sorting and file management. Additionally, it discusses command-line operations for validating records and processing files efficiently.
![Command Line
Examples
Running Tasks via the Terminal. The -experimental flag is
optional but runs tasks natively and is significantly faster. This
functionality will eventually be standard.
>> cmarcedit.exe -s [sourcefile] -d [destfile] -task [fullpath to
task file]
Validating Records:
>> cmarcedit.exe -s [sourcefile] -validate
Add -clean to remove invalid records:
>> cmarcedit.exe -s [sourcefile] -validate -clean
Command to tell you if dups exist in a file:
>> cmarcedit.exe -s [sourcefile] -dups?
Command to Export Delimited values:
>>cmarcedit.exe -s 100_a_coded_test.mrk -d 001_100.txt -rules

MarcEdit Shelter-In-Place Webinar 8: Automated editing through scripts and tooling
- 1. We’ll start at the ½ hour
- 2. MarcEdit Shelter-In-Place Webinar 8: Automated editing through scripts and tooling
- 3. Watch Folders Watch folders provide a separate processing service that enables users to attach task processes to a particular folder or list of folders This option is enabled and configured within the preferences
- 4. Watcher Configuration Options Supports FTP/SFTP acquisitions Support Regular Expressions to match specific filenames Supports the following process types: ◦ Format Conversions ◦ Character Conversions ◦ File Joins ◦ Task Lists
- 5. Topics A close look at the Script Maker Working with the Script Maker • Where can you make updates • What kinds of changes can you make Further automation • Understanding the MarcEdit COM
- 6. MarcEdit Script Wizard MarcEdit Script Wizard provides a template approach to automating MarcEdit ◦ What does it provide: ◦ Templates for Sorting data ◦ Templates for Making Files ◦ Templates for Breaking Files ◦ Provides a simplified method for accessing all data in the record
- 7. Understanding how it works Template based ◦ VB and Perl templates found in the Application Directory/Config directory
- 8. Template functions (MARCBREAKER) Function Marc_Break(source, dest) Dim obj_MB Dim lret if fso.FileExists(source)=false then msgbox "Local MarcFile Could not be located. Quitting" wscript.quit end if Set obj_MB=CreateObject("MARCEngine7.MARC21") lret=obj_MB.MarcFile(source, dest) set obj_MB=Nothing Marc_Break=lret end Function
- 9. Template Functions (MARCMAKER) Function Marc_Make(source, dest) Dim obj_MK Set obj_MK=CreateObject("MARCEngine7.MARC21") lret=obj_MK.MMaker(source, dest) Set obj_MK=Nothing Marc_Make=lret end function
- 10. Tasks that can be automated • Using conditionals or not Add/Deleting Fields • Variable Field Data Modify Subfield data • Fixes some issues that historically have happened when exporting data from III III Corrections
- 11. Editing Scripts: Main Loop Do while not obj_Dest(0).AtEndOfStream str_Data = obj_Dest(0).ReadLine if len(trim(str_Data))=0 then obj_Dest(1).Write Marc_String & vbcrlf tlcount = tlcount + 1 Marc_String = "" str_001 = "" str_949 = "" str_229 = "" else if Len(Trim(str_Data))<>0 then Marc_String = Marc_String & str_Data & vbcrlf End if end if Loop
- 12. Script Examples
- 13. Advanced Automation MarcEdit COM objects ◦ MARC21 Object (MARCEngine) ◦ Query Object (Z39.50 Object)
- 15. Automating the Command Line MarcEdit includes a command-line program called cmarcedit ◦ Command line program wraps the engine functionality, character conversion functionality and xml processing ◦ XSLT functions require you to define each XSLT file that you wish to use, including the MARCXML => Mnemonic xslt translation.
