4searchText = "padding 1234 rocket str austin TX 78704 more padding"
5
6/\d+.+\n{0,2}.+\s+[A-Z]{2}\s+\d{5}/m(searchText)

10//As opposed to the more verbose(but sometimes more appropriate in cases that you are reusing the Regex):
11var re = new RegExp(/\d+.+\n{0,2}.+\s+[A-Z]{2}\s+\d{5}/m);

13re.exec(searchText);
14//returns: ["1234 rocket str austin TX 78704"]
