Using GREP

Question

GREP Question... I have a client that provided me addresses like this:First Last Name 1234 This Road, City, State Zipor First Last Name 1234 This Road, City City, State Zip During the proofing process they have asked that anywhere the Zip ends up on a line by itself, they would like it to be:First Last Name 1234 This RoadCity, State Zip or City City, State Zip  (City City is for example Los Angeles or San Francisco) Clearly this would be a massive pain to fix manually. Can GREP fix this? I tried a GREP code that I found to fix just the Zip Runt, but it ends up messing something up somewhere because it ends up bumping to overset text for 50 pages. And then realized they actually want the whole City, State Zip bumped. They technically asked for just the instances where there is the Zip runt, but I'm totally open to telling them I have to bump it for all. Gah. I hope this all makes sense. Thanks. &#128579;

Are "," ALWAYS there?

Is it a long list or single instances?

If a single long list - you could play with a table.

Or GREP that will skip first "," and apply CharStyle with NoBreak to the rest would do the job.
