Hi Vinesh,

Put that formula in your MapBasic Window:

Update Table_name Set Street_number_column = Left$(adress_column,
(InStr(1,adress_column," ")-1)), Street_name_column= Right$(adress_column,
Len(adress_column)-InStr(1,adress_column," "))

This will work fine ONLY if the first space character in your address acts
as the separator between your street numbers and your street names.

Hope this helps!

Subject: MI-L Separating Street Numbers from Street Names

Dear Users

I have a column in my MapInfo table that has a street number and a street
name in one column.
I would like to separate them into two separate columns i.e. one column for
street number and another column for street name.
I have tried various syntax methods but find myself clueless in finding a
solution.
The problem I have is that street numbers vary in my table:
eg.   77 Gipsy Lane
       144-146 Glenfield Road
       77A Groby Road
So if I did truncate my column I still end up with text included from the
'shorter' address fields.

Any solutions or suggestions would be most welcome.

Regards.

Vinny
