Re: [SQL] HowTo divide streetname from house-nr ?

[negora]

I guess that it's impossible to look for a solution which works on every existing case, specially if you're handling addresses from several countries. However, if you've certain control over the user inputs, maybe you could try replacing certain parts employing some kind of regular _expression_ which removes numbers at the beginning/end of the string.

I have to deal with input like this: Parkstreet 42 Parkstr. 42 Casle Avenue 42 Casle Str. 42-47 Casle Str. 54 - 55 probaply even Casle Str. 42-47 a Perhaps one could cut ap the 1st numeric char and regard everything left of it as the street name and the rest as house number. OK, this would fail with "42, Parkstreet" but those aren't to frequent. How would I do this?
