Pull data from multi-row records

I've got about 50 records that were imported. Each record has about 30
rows. A portion of one would look something like:

082 04$a813/.54$222
049 \\$aLVGA
100 1\$aKelton, Elmer.
245 10$aRanger's trail$h[electronic resource] /$cElmer Kelton.
260 \\$aPrince Frederick, Md. :$bRecorded Books ;$a[Boulder, Colo.
:$bMade available electronically by] NetLibrary,$c2005.
300 \\$a1 sound file (9 hr.) :$bdigital, wma file.
440 \0$aLone Star audio
490 1\$aTexas Rangers series ;$v4
538 \\$aSystem requirements: Windows Media Player compatible, check
NetLibrary website for version information.
538 \\$aMode of access: World Wide Web.

I want to find all the 100, 440, and 490 fields for each of my records
to create a table with just that data. Something like this:
1\$aKelton, Elmer. \0$aLone Star audio 1\$aTexas Rangers series ;$v4
and each record would follow along. I tried vlookup and pivot tables,
but no luck. Any suggestions?

Use the advanced filter and copy to a new location.

Assume your data has a header row (if not, make one)

Header1 Header2
082 04$a813/.54$222


in another range of cells, create your criteria like

Header1
100
440
490

See Debra Dalgleish's site for information on using Advanced filter (or
consult Excel help)
