interpret address locations

[shwaguy]

I have a spread sheet of addresses that are in different formats. Some of the addresses include cities or zip codes or floors or units, the formats for floor is "flr" or "floors" or "flrs"...I think you can see what I am getting at. Is there a good parser library out there for use? shwaguy

Not really. If you need to match patterns in text, Regular Expressions[^] are your best bet.

OK....I am familiar on the regular expressions thing. I am looking for a library that already has done this. What does Google do? Does it use a database? shwaguy
