[librecat-dev] Catmandu marc questions

[Patrick Hochstenbach]

The command is:  catmandu convert IMPORTER to EXPORTER. In your example the importer is MARC and exporter is YAML. What you see in the output is a YAML response. If you want a text response use for instance the Text exporter:

$ catmandu convert MARC to Text --fix 'marc_map("650",txt.$append); join_field(txt,"\n"); retain(txt)' < camel.usmarc

You can put instead of ‘650’ any (sub)field, repeatable or not.
