Post Code Lookup

The Post Code Lookup application will enable you to search on postcodes, locations, and states / regions in your country to find the place name or postcode for the locations you are interested in - all at the click of a mouse button.

This program comes complete with Postcode data for : - Australia (16,308 postcodes / locations), - New Zealand (2,219 postcodes / locations), and, - United Kingdom (27,195 postcodes / locations).

You can search on a single field, such as just the Location, or you can search on multplie fields, such as on Location and State.

You can use * (Asterisk) to expand your search options in any fields. For example, the in the Location field you could : - Enter AU* for all places starting with 'AU', such as Aubury. - Enter AU for all places with 'AU' somewhere in the name, such Beauty Point. - Enter *Au for places ending in 'AU' such as : Collaroy Plateau.

All search criteria are case insensitive. So, 'au' is the same as 'AU' and 'Au'. All postcode data files are plain comma seperated text files with the data stored in this order postcode, location, state/region.

For example :

2000,NSW,SYDNEY 3996,VIC,POUND CREEK 4000,QLD,BRISBANE

You can have additional fields after these, but these are ingored by this program. The order is very important - it must be stored in postcode, location, and then state / region order.

The order of these records in the file (here they are sorted by postcode) is the order that they will appear in on the Postcode Search Results screen.

This program will work with numeric or alphanumeric Postcodes of any length, and will work with regions / states and locations of any length. (Up to a maximum of 255 characters).

This program can save you ages searching for phone books, post code lists, etc, and it is a fast and effective way to look up postcodes.
