Have you ever wanted to create an automated scripting solution?  Tired of rewriting the same code to do like, but different tasks?  Well, this just might be for you.  The MarcEdit Script Maker is a NEW utility added to the MarcEdit suite.  It proves a simple, intuiative interface for creating beginner to intermediate vbscripting solutions.  So what can you do with the MarcEdit Scripting Wizard:

1. Globally Add Fields to all MARC records in a file.
2. Conditionally Add Fields to specific MARC records in a file.
3. Globally Delete Fields from all MARC records in a file.
4. Conditionally Delete Fields from specific MARC records in a file.
5. Globally or Conditionally modify subfields for all MARC records in a file.
6. Repair MARC records extracted using III's Read/Write MARC records utility.
7. Construct a 949 overlay for records extracted using III's Read/Write MARC records utility.
8. Repair 001 in records extracted using III's Read/Write MARC records utility.

The MarcEdit Script Maker provides users with a powerful tool for creating automated solutions to deal with small, medium, or large MARC files.  But what if you know vbscript--how does the MarcEdit Script Maker help you?  Well, the Script Maker can create the seed code that most every project needs when working with MARC records.  This includes setting up functions for interacting with MarcEdit's MarcEngine, handling most object creation, including functions for dealing with obtaining the source file and how to construct a destination file.  All in all, the Script Maker will product roughly 250-300 lines of seed code so users can concentrate on meat of their programs.

Additional System Requirements
Currently, the MarcEdit Script Maker creates vbscripts for execution. Because of this, users must have the Microsoft Windows Scripting Host installed to utilize the created scripts. Additional script support will be added in future versions.
