Don't use \b as a space character, it's not good for that. \b is a zero-width
assertion, that detects the change between word and non-word characters..
/0\bE/ will never match anything, as the regex is looking for a string two
characters long, starting with 0, ending with E and having a word-boundary in
the middle. The word boundary can never occur without the 0 or E changing into
something else.
Use \s or an actual space instead. Put \b's at the beginning and end of the
regex, but in the middle only do it when you've got wildcards involved and want
to force a boundary. (ie: /.\b./ or something of the sort)
Try this:
/\b800\s{1,3}E.?\s{1,3}Vermont\b/i
