Re: Need Grep Pattern

Since your address parts have varying lengths, a simple grep replace pattern using fixed tabs isn't always going to produce the desired result. A solution is to use a perl script text filter. Using Brian Forte's grep seach expression in a perl script for a text filter, I came up with this:

Let's describe the pattern you are trying to split. There's more than one way to do that (as the replies to you query show) but by focusing on a general pattern (what must always be true about your original text), we can make a more reliable regexp. You want to capture everything up to the

Glad it helped Samar. Yes, I am generally afraid of lookaheads and sometime not sure of why we can't just use a pattern and replace it verbatim, but this is a good case for it because you have to ensure you do not select the start of the next line in the grep search. The thing I find hardest is
