How would you implement the regex to cross compare the State abbreviation with the first 3 characters of the base 5 zip code.

Comment:
beware, that every extra () grouping consumes memory and time by catching the match...
@"^(AL|AK|AS|AZ|AR|CA|CO|CT|DE|DC|FM|FL|GA|GU|HI|ID|IL|IN|IA|KS|KY|LA|ME|MH|MD|MA|MI|MN|MS|MO|MT|NE|NV|NH|NJ|NM|NY|NC|ND|MP|OH|OK|OR|PW|PA|PR|RI|SC|SD|TN|TX|UT|VT|VI|VA|WA|WV|WI|WY)$" will work the same :-)
