It is really hard to tell from just one name and address what will work.

For example, are there double returns between records, or is it a straight list.?
Does each record contain 4 lines of text?
Are all zip codes 9 digits.
Are you sure that it isn't tabs between fields instead of spaces.

Hello, all.

I have a list of addresses in the form:

John Smith
Business Company
123 Oak St
Sequim WA 98382-0000

I need to fix the list so it looks like the following:

John Smith  Business Company    123 Oak St  Sequim  WA  98382

Each field has a tab between it instead of a space. I can handle the
space to tab transition but can't seem to get a return at the end of
each 9 digit zip. Can someone show me a find replace that will include
the zip and a return. I can't seem to make the zip and return be shown
after the find and replace.

I've been through the BBEdit help on grep and maybe I'm just a bit thick
today but any help would be appreciated.

Scott
