<br>
how could I divide streetnames from housenumbers ?
<br>
<br>
I have to deal with input like this:
<br>
<br>
Parkstreet 42
<br>
Parkstr. 42
<br>
Casle Avenue 42
<br>
Casle Str. 42-47
<br>
Casle Str. 54 - 55
<br>
<br>
probaply even
<br>
Casle Str. 42-47 a
<br>
<br>
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.
<br>
OK, this would fail with "42, Parkstreet" but those aren't to frequent.
<br>
<br>
How would I do this?
<br>
