I want to check from a txt database, wether or not addresses are valid using a USPS web site, currently i have written a file to check the html code output from (assuming i figure out how to input the from info) This is about as far as i have gotten i can share with you my fail code on the read file => my Regex, if you can help. I am trying to save the txt file into a array of hash values so that i get the address city state zip and also the 9 digit zip if it is available. it seems like code sharing is difficult to do within this web site so if you want if it makes it easier i have my own open forum (i believe its open) where i can share text from code and media, (and possibly files : its a buddy press template site) Any help is much appreciated and will save me from banging my head against walls, literally and metaphorically!
