If there is a free one then I would love to know. There are plenty of
really expensive alternatives such as GBGroup, Quick Address, etc that
use dll's called via cfc and com.
There is however, a site available that I worked on recently that have
their own address finder which you might find it useful to use
(inadvertantly that is). The code that may or may not work ;-) is as
follows:
<!--- Find the address --->
<CFOBJECT action="CREATE" class="MSXML2.XMLHTTP"
name="objXMLSend" type="COM">
<CFSET PostCode = Replace(Trim(attributes.PostCode),"
","","ALL")>
<CFSET Premise = attributes.Premise>
<CFSET str_PostData =
"postcode=#PostCode#&building_name=#Premise#">
<CFSCRIPT>
objXMLSend.Open("Post","http://www.GlobalDataManagement.co.uk/clients/co
ors_brewers/2934/address/get_address.php?#str_PostData#", False);
objXMLSend.Send();
str_Response = objXMLSend.responseText;
</CFSCRIPT>
<!--- Extract each address element form the result
string --->
<CFIF FindNoCase("<error>",str_Response) eq 0>
<CFSET start =
FindNoCase("<line1>",str_Response)>
<Cfset line1start = start + 7>
<CFSET end =
FindNoCase("</line1>",str_Response)>
<CFSET address1 =
Mid(str_Response,line1start,end-line1start)>
<CFSET start =
FindNoCase("<line2>",str_Response)>
<Cfset line2start = start + 7>
<CFSET end =
FindNoCase("</line2>",str_Response)>
<CFSET address2 =
Mid(str_Response,line2start,end-line2start)>
<CFSET start =
FindNoCase("<line3>",str_Response)>
<Cfset line3start = start + 7>
<CFSET end =
FindNoCase("</line3>",str_Response)>
<CFSET address3 =
Mid(str_Response,line3start,end-line3start)>
<CFSET start =
FindNoCase("<town>",str_Response)>
<Cfset townstart = start + 6>
<CFSET end = FindNoCase("</town>",str_Response)>
<CFSET town =
Mid(str_Response,townstart,end-townstart)>
<CFSET start =
FindNoCase("<postcode>",str_Response)>
<Cfset postcodestart = start + 10>
<CFSET end =
FindNoCase("</postcode>",str_Response)>
<CFSET postcode =
Mid(str_Response,postcodestart,end-postcodestart)>
</CFIF>
However, I will deny this code exists if anyone asks. And If they ask
where it cam from just say 5 fgJvbff Street, vghfghffh, TS13

When I say addresses, I don't mean e-mail. I mean street addresses.
E.g
1 sevenacres grove
Valid address
Sdklfjdkslfjdkl
Invalid address
