[NTLUG:Discuss] reg exp question

[Wrenn, Bobby J.]

You guys were a great help last week, I am going to bone up on regular
expressions. However, since I was so successful last week, I have been asked
to extract the ZIP codes from an RTF file. Converting it to text it looks
like this:

=========================================
	Customer Name Site List	Store Type:	TRU
	Site ID	Site 	Site Address	Phone #1	Phone #2
Phone #3	Phone #4
	2801	Philly Whse	1 Geoffrey Drive	(215)736-8100

	28	Fairless Hills	PA	19030
	28DC	Philly Whse	1 Geoffrey Drive	(215)736-8100

========================================

The ZIP is at the end of the second address line for each record, and is
separated from the state abbreviation by a tab. The page header has AM or PM
a tab and the word page. So I need to ignore non-numbers. Again if I can
copy this over to the Linux box and get an answer quickly, Linux scores and
we will be a step closer to getting an approved Linux workstation on the
LAN. Right now I have to keep it isolated so my free software doesn't infect
the NT herd.

Feel free to respond directly to me.

Thanks for the help
