Subject:      rolling up counts in PROC FREQ based regex patterns

I'm running frequencies on addresses to identify the most common
patterns of invalid street addresses.

What I'm wondering is this: Is there a way to instruct PROC FREQ to roll
up counts based on regular expression patterns (e.g., combine the counts
for "Rural Route 1" and "Rural Route 10", using a Perl regex like "Rural
Route \d+").

Thanks.
