I need to extract certain Abbreviations from a file such as ABS,TVS,and PERL. Any abbreviations which are in uppercase letters. I'd preferably like to do this with a regular expression. Any help is appreciated.

When I use traceroute, I often see abbreviations in the hostnames along the route, such as "ge", "so", "ic", "gw", "bb" etc. I can guess "bb" means backbone.
Does anyone know what any these strings abbreviate, or know any other common abbreviations?

It's much cleaner and probably faster to validate lowercase abbreviations as well as uppercase, then either check for state.UpperCase.

How do you pronounce these words?

Microsoft is pretty clear that .NET "identifiers" or "parameters" should not contain abbreviations. Straight from the horse's mouth:

Re.search(r'\b[a-z]{2}\b', subject, re.I)
it will find double-letter names of towns, though
A simple and reliable way is to have all the states listed:
states = ['IA', 'KS', 'UT', 'VA', 'NC', 'NE', 'SD', 'AL', 'ID', 'FM', 'DE', 'AK', 'CT', 'PR', 'NM'... .
