Can I have TextPad search for each of the lines with ,TX but then back up to the beginning of the City ahead of the ,TX and place a \n so it will add a
blank line at that point, and look like the following?

Yes, it is possible:

Find what: .*,?TX$
Replace with: \n&

Ensure the Regular expression check box is selected.

This assumes you are using POSIX regular expression syntax under Configure -> Preferences -> Editor.

Yes, that works.

Note that .*,? (any sequence of characters, possibly followed by a comma) is exactly equivalent to .* (any sequence of characters). For the OP's examples
.*, TX$
(with a space after the comma) is a good regex.

Thanks, but when I tried your expression it didn't work. I did however drop the $ behind the TX, so:

Find what: .*,?TX did work.

What does the $ supposedly do?

It anchors the end of the match to the end of the line. Presumably there is white space at the ends of your lines.

Note my remark above, that the ,? after the .* is redundant.
