:2. Postcode Extraction:
::U.S. post code follows the pattern [five digits] or [five digits - four digits]. U.S. patents can be extracted by searching for post code following these patterns using regular expression. Some other countries also use [five digits] for post code, so only post codes following [five digits - four digits] are extracted.
::SQL code are in:
E:/McNair/Projects/PatentAddress/
::The extracted records are stored in table ptoassigneend_missus.
