Anyone knows about the algorithm or a software that can detect address in text like yahoo does?

[Blog] [Silverlight Clone] [Resume]Sounds like a programming question to me. I'd guess they use a regex to guess that something follows the common format for an address. OR they could plug it into a google map or similar and see if it gets a hit.
Christian Graus Please read this if you don't understand the answer I've given you "also I don't think "TranslateOneToTwoBillion OneHundredAndFortySevenMillion FourHundredAndEightyThreeThousand SixHundredAndFortySeven()" is a very good choice for a function name" - SpacixOne ( offering help to someone who really needed it ) ( spaces added for the benefit of people running at < 1280x1024 )

[Blog] [Silverlight Clone] [Resume]Yeah, it's close enough to the edge that I still answered it, but it *is* close :-)

[Blog] [Silverlight Clone] [Resume]There is a General Questions forum.

And just why is it inappropriate here? Asking for an algorithm or library shouldn't be considered a programming question. Admittedly, some of them may be more appropiate in the Maths/algorithms forum, but this isn't one of them.
Cheers, Vikram.

Read what I said, rather than what you thought I said. I didn't say this was inappropriate. I just pointed out another forum that this could have been asked in.

[Blog] [Silverlight Clone] [Resume]A real algorithm for this does not exists. But you can always try best guess using some regular expresions, some zip code / location validation... and whatever you think can be in an adsress.

I reread your post alone, and you are right. Sorry for jumping to conclusions. *handshakes all around*
