Hi, Sergio: you can try MARCgrep http://en.pusc.it/bib/MARCgrep. Its help is:
MARCgrep.pl Extracts MARC records that match a condition on fields. Count and invert are available. SYNOPSIS MARCgrep.pl [options] [-e condition] file.mrc Options: -h print this help message and exit -c count only -e condition -f comma separated list of fields to print -o output format "marc" | "line" | "INLINE" -s separator string for condition, default "," -v invert match Condition: -e 'tag,indicator1,indicator2,subfield,value' OPTIONS -h Print this message and exit. -c Count and print number of matching records -e The condition to match in the record. For data fields, the syntax is: tag,indicator1,indicator2,subfield,value where tag, indicator1, indicator2, subfield, and value are regular expressions patterns. Do not put spaces around the separators. For control fields, the syntax is: tag,pos1,pos2,value where tag starts with '00' (use '000' or 'LDR' for leader), pos1 is the starting position, pos2 is the ending position, both 0-based. Value is a regular expression. Default condition (-e not specified) matches any data field. For control fields, only the tag is mandatory. Examples: -e '100,,,a,^A' will match records that contain 100$a starting with 'A' -e '008,35,37,(ita|eng)' will match records with language ita or eng in 008 -e '(1|7)(0|1)(0|1),,2' will match 100,110,111,700,710,711 with ind2=2 -f Comma separated list of fields (tags) to print if output format is "line" or "inline". Default is any field. Note that if a tag is preceded by '#' sign (like in '#nnn'), a count of occurrences will be printed instead. Examples: -f '100,245' will print field 100 and 245 -f '400,#400' will print all occurrences of 400 field as well as the number of its occurrences -o Output format: "marc" for ISO2709, "line" for each subfield in a line, "inline" (default) for each field in a line. -s Specify a string separator for condition. Default is ','. -v Invert the sense of matching, to select non-matching records. -V Print the version and exit. file.mrc The mandatory ISO2709 file to read. Can be STDIN, '-'. DESCRIPTION Like grep, the famous Unix utility, MARCgrep.pl allows to filter MARC bibliographic records based on conditions on tag, indicators, and field value. Conditions can be applied to data fields, control fields or the leader. In case of data fields, the condition can specify tag, indicators, subfield and value using regular expressions. In case of control fields, the condition must contain the tag name, the starting and ending position (both 0-based), and a regular expressions for the value. Options -c and -v allow respectively to count matching records and to invert the match. If option -c is not specified, the output format can be "line" or "inline" (both human readable), or "marc" for MARC binary (ISO2709). For formats "line" or "inline", the -f option allows to specify fields to print. You can chain more conditions using ./MARCGgrep.pl -o marc -e condition1 file.mrc | ./MARCGgrep.pl -e condition2 - KNOWN ISSUES Performance. Accepts and returns only UTF-8. Checks are case sensitive.
