I’ve been having some folks ping me recently regarding how data is displayed in the Z39.50 client.  To simply the data display process, I pull data into a byte array and simply render the content using the Windows 1252 codepage.  This means that any data returned via UTF8 (which I certainly don’t see often) gets…

The biggest part of this update is the addition of a Z39.50 COM object call.  So for those that install as an admin, they will be able to access the Z39.50 object.  Here’s a code snippet. Function ZSearch(search, ltype) Dim lobj_Z3950 Dim lstring Set lobj_Z3950 =createObject(“MARCEngine5.Query”) With lobj_Z3950 .Database = “VOYAGER” .Host = “z3950.loc.gov” .Port…

Basically, a bug fix.  I made a few changes to the script maker, the Editor when it closes, and added a new sorting option in the Editor (sortby author). http://oregonstate.edu/~reeset/marcedit/software/development/MarcEdit50_Setup.exe –TR

I’ve posted an update to MarcEdit.  Couple of changes: MARC21XML output: Larry Dixon from LC let me know that the xmlschema location value was incorrectly set on occasion.  Didn’t notice for two reasons: 1) It doesn’t affect my xslt processors and 2) I don’t use namespaces. Export Selected/Delete Selected — ability to use a file…

I’ve been doing some work on the Delimited Text importer this weekend.  Nothing big — just some simple changes to make the import process work better — particularly when dealing with csv files (which MarcEdit periodically splits up incorrectly when dealing with MS Excel data).  Anyway, I think I’ve got a much better process using…

So with the coming preconference at Code4Lib (which I wish I was going to :(), I’ve had a few folks ask if MarcEdit can run on a mac or linux system.  Well, the console version of the application can.  The GUI portion of the program still relies on components that haven’t been fully migrated into…

Apparently in an update, I’d broken the MARCJoin function (the files to join wasn’t being set).  Sorry about that.  So, I’ve fixed this and in fixing this, corrected a problem with the same function in the console program.  To run in the console, you’d use the following: %cmarcedit.exe -s c:\myfile.mrc;c:\myfile2.mrc -d c:\newfile.mrc -join In the…

With the preconference at Code4lib coming, folks are looking for ways to get their MARC data into a format that Solr can load.  Andrew Nagy has made an XSLT that can convert MARCXML data to a Solr format, and David Bigwood notes that MarcEdit can be used to generate those MARCXML records.  This is true —…

So I’ve been having a few folks ask about MarcEdit 5.0 and Vista — specifically, are there problems installing one on the other.  Well, I found myself a version of Vista (Enterprise Edition) and gave it a while.  Good news — no problems.  The only problem that I ran into was the install program.  In…

I uploaded a small change to the MarcEdit program.  It includes the following changes: Stub code added to accommodate a new input interface.  It’s not finished yet — but I’ve started making some code revisions to make it easier to implement.
