Hi,
I've got some code that attempts to take free format user entered string data and look up postal codes. I think
I have a useable algorithm to pull out Number Streetname Streettype Direction (the city is 'guessed at' using a
telephone number) while skipping over/under the 'garbage'.
Now I'd like a way of indexing into our keyed Canada Post data to pull out the actual postal code. Anyone out there
ever done any FAB/RAB low level operations from Icon V9? Reading through the file as flat ASCII just doesn't cut it
and its way too huge to pull into a TABLE. I'm thinking that I should probably look into the C interface, but I was just
wondering if this has been done before.
Thanks,
Brian Tiffin
