NAME

Country Code List Cleanup

DESCRIPTION

Reads MARC code list for countries (plain text). Writes only codes and country (or other place) name, separated by tab. For obsolete codes, adds these at end of output file (keeping the hyphen).

PURPOSE

After cleaning, copy the codes (obsolete, valid, (and match-obsolete to valid)) into a validation-check program/module as data.

TO DO

Remove OUT2? I think this is just for error checking/testing?

Rewrite code to account for split lines (language name too long to fit on one line, so it is split onto another, possibly during save from Web browser. Easier to take care of these exceptions manually, as there are only a few and the code list shouldn't need to be changed very often.
