I have been given a task to remove social security and driver's license numbers, as well as convert exact addresses to 100 block of whatever that is contained in a free form narrative. These narratives are police reports that are being downloaded by the media in the Memphis area. The MPD doesn't want to send these reports with the above information, but to obfuscate that portion of the narratives. I've already gotten the code working on the addresses, but was thinking maybe regular expressions would work well with detecting and converting the ssn to XXX-XX-XXXXX and maybe even the driver's license numbers the same way. One small problem is that I have never used them. Anyone gotz any code that might help on this?
