[rt-users] Regex

[Andy Harrison]

Putting specific numbers in your expressions like that really hamstrings
you if things don't match up to the exact counts you specify.

To match your city, just do this:

/^\s*(\w.*?),\s+\w{2}\s+\d{5}/

Start of line, optionally followed by 0 or more spaces, (start capture)
followed by a word character, followed by a non-greedy match of any number
of characters (stop capture) up to a comma, followed by 1 or more spaces,
followed by two word characters, followed by 1 or more spaces, followed by
5 digits.
