[Koha] Items migration along with records

[Nitesh Rijal]

For that we need to have the 952, I knew that, but faced difficulties.

Please help me in this regard.

Suppose the record is:

1. Importance of ILS in a Library -- by Mr. XYZ and all bibliographic
records.
     a. it may have multiple items with barcodes 2312, 342, 2346 and so on.

from marcedit, we can just edit the fields, in this case if we keep all the
items then it will have multiple record, won;t it?

we can get the either the items with all the bibliographic records or just
the records with 1 item. how can we get items in a form that is ready for
migration?

do we need to do that manually one by one? or is there any "regex" that
makes this possible. I am new to "regex" so cannot have good hold of it.

Please help me.

Regards.
