--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I need help writing a regular expression that only returns part of a
string.

For Example I have a multi-line text fragment like below:

PC ADVISORS, LC
1234 MT. PARMA ROAD. SUITE A1
ATLANTA, GA 30097
PH. (404) 555-1212

I write a regular express that retrieves the second line. I want to
only return all the data before SUITE A1 in the line. The regular
expression I have so far is "\n\n.*?! S" . This returns "1234 MT.
PARMA ROAD. S" . Could anybody help me figure out how to write a
regular expression that only returns "1234 MT. PARMA ROAD." . The
stipulation is that the first part of the line is a variable length.

Thanks,

John
