Another address parsing question

abc123 · Post by **abc123** » Sat Jul 07, 2007 11:23 pm

How would the following address be parsed?:

123 W 34 1/2 St

QualityStage parses it with the input pattern: ^D^^/^T

I am putting the following override: HN1PD1SN1SN1SN1ST1

I would appreciate any suggestions.

Question 2: How would you add a street type to an address if it is missing? For example, if Qs sees the input pattern as:

^R^

Example address: 123 Maple 1

How would you add 'St' so that the address is?:
123 Maple St 1

Is "/" in your STRIPLIST ? If so you only have five pattern components to parse.

How do you know the correct street type is ST ?
Use a pattern override for ^R^

/ is not in my striplist but I can add it with an escape. However, 34 1/2 is the street address and that's how I want QS to see it in my override. So if I had the / in my strip list, would my override be:

HN1PD1SN1SN1ST1

I guess I am going to run this through, find the address and see how QS treats it.

That's why I had to ask the question about "/" in the STRIPLIST. It couldn't have parsed "1/2" as a single token. I think your first solution was better.
