searchmarcrecord is a Python3 program that searches a single MARC record via a given id (controlfield 001) in a given (binary) MARC records file and writes it into a single (binary) MARC file
- clone this git repo or just download the searchmarcrecord.py file
- run ./searchmarcrecord.py
- for a hackish way to use searchmarcrecord system-wide, copy to /usr/local/bin
- via pip:
(which provides you
sudo -H pip3 install --upgrade [ABSOLUTE PATH TO YOUR LOCAL GIT REPOSITORY OF SEARCHMARCRECORD]searchmarcrecordas a system-wide commandline command)
searchmarcrecord [-h] -id ID -input-file INPUT_FILE -output-file
OUTPUT_FILE
