The Postal Matcher process uses the following advanced rules file:
Mask file. The mask file lists the mask characters which define each character in the data value. The default mask file name ismaskfile.win/unx. The mask file for Russia is rumasks.win/unx and the mask file for Israel is ilmasks.win/unx. See Using Masks.
If necessary, you can edit the file by copying it to the client and then
uploading it back to the server. The default file is stored in: C:/Program Files/Trillium Software/MBSW/17/tsq/tables/general_resources.
To edit the advanced rules file

From the Navigation or Project View, right-click the process and select Edit Process.
