When I looked at it, I also wondered about 'count' being 'position' or something like that, to be able to note which occurrence. It might be useful to have both--if you know it is always the 1st 2 occurrences of the subfields, use 'count', but if you know it is the 1st and 3rd, then use 'position' or 'occurrence'. examples: #remove 1st 2 subfield 'u' $field->delete_subfield(code => 'u', count => 2); #remove 1st and 3rd subfield 'u' $field->delete_subfield(code => 'u', occurence => (0, 2)); #or (1, 3) #remove last subfield u $field->delete_subfield(code => 'u', occurence => (-1)); -- Bryan Baldus [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://home.inwave.com/eija
