1.1) Using a text editor, copy the data below into a text file called ziptable.txt. Each line of the table contains a state abbreviation, the state name, and one or more ZIP code specifiers. The ZIP code specifiers consist of the first three digits of a ZIP code. For example 350-369 denotes ZIP codes in the range 35000 to 36999.

Tables like this one are used in mailing applications to verify that an address has a reasonable ZIP code. Each ZIP code specifier is either a pair of three-digit integers separated with a hyphen, or a single three-digit integer. A ZIP code for a state is valid if the first three digits falls in the range of a ZIP code specifier pair or matches a single three-digit ZIP code specifier.

In order to standardize the data in the table, we will create a new file by modifying the old table data so that every ZIP code specifier is a pair or integers separated with a hyphen. For example, in the case of New York, we will change the single ZIP code 005 into 005-005. We will divide the task into three steps.

As the first step, write a program that reads and prints each line in the table exactly as it appears in the file.

Here is the table data:

1.2) Modify the ZipsReader program so that it passes each line of the table file as a String to another Scanner constructor. Use the new Scanner to read the single line of the table as a sequence of strings by invoking the next method. Print out the state name, state abbreviation, and each ZIP code specifier.

In order to make the output consistent, single integer ZIP code specifiers should be printed as a two-integer range. For example, New Yorks ZIP code of 005 should be printed as 005-005. There are a couple of hurdles to completing this:

1) Some states like New Jersey have multi-part names, and

2) We need to determine which strings are ZIP code specifiers.

Fortunately, the String class supports the matches method and we can use that method to determine if a string matches a specific pattern. We will denote the pattern as a regular expression. For example, if we have a String identifier called token, we can invoke token.matches("\\d{3}-\\d{3}") to make sure the string referenced by token consists of three digits followed by a - followed by three more digits. We can use token.matches("\\d{3}") to make sure the string referenced by token consists of exactly three digits. In each case, matches returns true or false, so we can use this expression in an if statement to detect when we have scanned a ZIP code specifier.

1.3) Modify the ZipsReader program by directing the output to a file rather than System.out. Create a PrintWriter object that is associated with a file for output. Use print and println to write your output to the file. Be sure to invoke close on the stream when you are finished. Use a text editor to examine the output file and verify that it is correct.
