I need to extract the zipcode from file’s line.
each line contains an adress and is formatted in a different way.
eg.
“Großen Haag 5c, DE-47559 Kranenburg”
or
“Lange Ruthe 7b, 55294 Bodenheim”
the zipcode is always a five digit number and sometimes follows “DE-“.
I use Java.
Thanks a lot!
will match 5 digits if they are “on their own”, i.e. surrounded by word boundaries (to ensure we’re not matching substrings of a longer sequence of numbers, although those will probably be rare in an address file).
Remember that you’ll need to escape the backslashes in a Java string (
"\\b\\d{5}\\b").
