Feature request

Describe the bug
Not a bug per se, maybe. I used as part of my test input a string that contains last name, his and her first name address with City, State, zip code, phone number and email. I would like one of the options to include the full address, the five digit numbers as a zip, the phone numbers pulled out. It did recognize the email and that regex code did work as advertised. I understand the 5 digit number would work, but, if I had used the zip plus 4, it still didn't catch the full zip, the solution would either give me the first 5 numbers or the hyphen and the last four numbers.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. provide a straing that has the following seperated by spaces. "last name" "his first name" + "her first name" "home address to include city, state and either 5 or 9 number zip, phone number using (xxx) xxx-xxxx and email.

Expected behavior
I would like it to also recognize the whole address, the zip, the phone number

Additional context
Just would like to see the application to recognize additional parts of the input string. I like to pull out the address, city, ST, zip, phone number and emails all of the time. This would be very useful for someone like me trying to learn regex

Hi, my understanding of your request is that you would like to add some regex, is that correct?
That could be done quite quickly, as long as we find some nice regex to add...

Let's try:

• last name/ first name
  What exactly do you mean by that? A name can be nearly anything, so it would be very hard to find a regex for that. And regarding other parts of the world maybe even using different alphabets, I don't think it is possible to find a feasible regex to properly recognize first and last name.
  Or did I misunderstand your request?
• ZIP code
  OK, that should be possible, but be aware that postal codes are different all over the world.
  Which one did you you think of?
  • US: Something like \d{5}(?:-\d{4})? would probably fit.
  • Germany: Simpler: \d{5}
  • But if you have a look at UK, it's a bit more complicated: https://rgxdb.com/r/3OUSD5SB
• Full address
  To be honest, I think this would be similar to finding names: quite hard.
  The only thing that might help here: If users are forced to enter an address in a very specific way, but then you might already know the structure and don't need the regex any more.
  Or am I missing something? Do you have something special in mind?
• Phone number
  This is also very hard, because phone number can be written in any way you can think of. Your phone will offer you every number between 7 and 15 digits length (with some special characters in it) as a phone number ;)
  But anyway, this sounds like I could add something that might recognize phone numbers, yes.

So, having said this, I would add the US-ZIP code and some simple regex for phone numbers to the library. If you would like to have something else, please clarify your request.
