I have many pages of addresses, all of which should bear the same zipcode
of
33032.
I'm trying to find all instances of 5 numbers preceded by a space that are
not 33032, since several people have worked on the document and there
appear
to be quite a few errors in typing that zip code.
I'm sure the "but not" is in there somewhere but I just can't get it
placed
so that I get results. That expression gets me every single time!
Thanks for this and all of your wonderful help over the years. I hope
everybody had a bounteous Thanksgiving. I sure am thankful for you.
