There's a pretty good example included in the "samples" section of the
source (
http://marc4j.tigris.org/source/browse/marc4j/src/org/marc4j/samples/ReadMarcExample.java?revision=1.1&view=markup
).
Your particular use might look something like this (not tested):
public class MARCParser() {
public List<String> getData(File file) {
MarcReader reader = new MarcStreamReader(new FileInputStream(file));
List<String> data = new ArrayList<String>();
while (reader.hasNext()) {
Record record = reader.next();
VariableField field = record.getVariableField("856");
data.add(field.toString());
}
return data;
}
}
Hope this helps,
Jonah
