This was a tough one! 

I actually ended up deciding not to match completely with the output file, because I believe that a few of the phone numbers in that output have accidentally been left appended to addresses, and I have been able to separate these out.

oh my freakin' G this challenge was brutal for me, and my solution is not pretty. I was able to get everything to mesh but for *one* misidentifed address. I looked at the solution and I think this would have been easier for me if I had not separated out the phone number processing before everything else. But this was good RegEx practice I must say.

This was a pretty difficult challenge; some of the fields are easy to parse with the regex tool, but some other ones are more complicated. The very easy fields to parse were the notes, web address, and fax; however, the telephone number had way too many formats to capture such as 1-800 Flowers and DialWord. eg: (\d{3}[-. ]\d{3}[-. ]\d{4}|\d-\d{3}-DialWord|\d-\d{3}-Flowers)

It would take a lot longer to identify all the possible formats and include them in the regex tool. The same goes for the address field.

Wow, this one was challenging.  Just when I think I have RegEx nailed down.

My RegEx for the Address and Phone Extraction (part I thought was the most challenging):  (^.+\s+)(\d{3}[-]\d{3}[-]\d{4}.*|1-\d{3}[-]\d{3}[-]\d{4}.*)

I took some inspiration from other solutions to solve this challenge.

Thank you.
