This little (Perl) code snippet may be useful for parsing titles in data being converted to MARC record format. It determines the 245 indicator 2 value (Number of nonfiling characters). Although it is fairly trivial and only covers a few languages (and may be incomplete or have errors), it can be improved upon, corrected, and added to.

# Search the title string for beginning articles. The 245 field
# indicator 2 is the amount of spaces until the start of the
# article-less title.
