I made the following changes: Added a status window and ability to cancel processing of the Batch Processing utility. This allows you to see how many files are being processed as well as canceling the processing if you get tired of waiting (it will cancel after the in-process file has completed). In adding the status…

Due to a request by Dan Chudnov in regards batch processing a set of MARC Authority records into MADS — I’ve made a couple of modifications to MarcEdit’s Batch Processing tool.   First, I’ve setup MarcEdit so that it now can batch process any file type that is currently defined in the XML functions list.  Second,…

I’ve posted an update to correct a problem in one of the older MARCEngine function.  The Split tool was defined to ignore character encoding and simply read bytes using the default windows character encoding, which in .NET 1.1 was codepage 1252.  In one of the .NET updates/patches, this behavior has changed.  Someone sent me a…

Seems I have to modify my build procedures now that I’ve given a few libraries strong names and placed them in the GAC.  Unlike previously, each component simply used whatever the current library was in the program directory.  Unfortunately, now that the MARCEngine is signed, each component that links to it needs the reference recompiled. …

I posted a new update online.  Small changes only — again, still adding a few more polish to the program.  The two primary changes affect the Extract Selected MARC Records, Delete Selected MARC Records and Export Tab Delimited MARC records.  Moreover, in changing the Export Tab Delimited MARC Records, I had to make a change…

You really won’t notice the change, but I made a few updates to the language files (updating elements) and then have put in a few additional refinements (i.e., saving/reloading elements in the export tab deleted utility [right click on the arguments list to initialize the menu]) As always, the update can be picked up from:…

Most folks know that MarcEdit 5.0 allows users to localize the application — and in some respects, it does this very differently then most applications. Most applications utilize a resource file to store strings/resources utilized by the application. MarcEdit 5.0 is different — MarcEdit 5.0 utilizes an xml-based language file (or files) and a custom…

To deal with servers that provide either http headers in invalid formats or servers that use proxies with expired certificates, I ended up having make a few adjustments to the Verify URL utility.  To get an indepth explaination of what changes were made, please see: Dealing with expired security certificates: https://blog.reeset.net/archives/166 Dealing with invalid http…

This is one of those tools that I’m going to be working on a bit more (I want to setup a thread pool to speed up the processing), but for now, it works ok. The process allows you to specify within a MARC record what http elements you’d like to check. You check all (and…

MarcBreaker Example: Dim objMARC Set objMARC = CreateObject(“MARCEngine5.MARC21”) ‘These files are not provided. You will need to use your own test files. This example is only to show syntax. lret = objMARC.MarcFile(“C:\Documents and Settings\reeset\Desktop\cyrillic.mrc”, “C:\Documents and Settings\reeset\Desktop\cyrillic.mrk”) msgbox “here” The above is the general MarcBreaker function.  This will work with either MARC-8 or the UTF-8 characterset. …
