Hi all,
I'm about to start writing a routine to parse "standard" U.S. Addresses (if
there is such a thing...) Before I jump off into this, I was just wondering
if maybe someone out there had already seen some similar logic already
implemented somewhere? Here's basically what I'm trying to do:
123 Sesame Street NW
In this example, I want to parse out the Street Address as follows:
123 = House Number
Sesame = Street Name
Street = Street Type
NW = Street Directional
I know there are a lot more variations than this in addresses, which is why
this is so much fun right? So if anyone knows of any type of address
parsing mechanism already done out there, it'd be much appreciated.
Thx,
Mike C.

There are quite a number of these already out there. However, all that I can
think of at the moment are integrated into full geo-coding applications,
which can be quite pricey depending upon your needs.
What type of addresses are you looking to parse?
Meaning USPS mailing addresses or Physical street addresses?
Why you ask? Well, on the surface you would think they are the same thing.
However, in reality they can be quite different.
Do you need to support building and or units? Such as "123 B1 Sesame Street
NW".
Do you need the standardized or just parsed? "123 Sesame ST NW". Or "123
North Main Street East" = "123 N Main ST E"
Do you need to parse addresses for the far north US, where they might use
Canadian style Alphanumeric addresses?
How discrete are your addresses? Meaning how many different fields are
discrete, such as Street Number, Street Name, City, State, Zipcode. Just how
many fields need to be constructed?
As you can guess, what might seem trivial at first can become quite
complicated.
I have an extensive set of address management utilities. I am currently
polishing off version 3 of a framework that is used extensively in utility
companies. However, it is written in VB6 and has some other unique
dependencies. What I have might not be a fit for you. Not that I am
necessarily pitching my product. There might be a much better match out
there depending upon your needs.

Gerald,
If you are still monitoring this thread, please reply to me. I'm also interested in an address parser written for VB6.
Thanks!

Hi there!
Were you success in finding a good parser? I'd also like to find one.
Thanks,
Suzanne

Hi all,
Does anyone have some code that shows an example of how to loop through a
range of IP addresses? I'm using text boxes to get a start and end value for
the range. I was thinking about using 4 nested for-next loops, but I seem to
be having trouble working out the logic to validate the octets in the
beginning and ending address so the range works correctly.
i.e. 172.16.1.1/172.20.1.1 should loop 172-172,16-20,1-254,1-254...

Hello,
I need to parse a string that returns the domain DNS records and to put this

I'm not aware of the efficient way how to do this. I've found some examples
of CSV parser classes, but not sure how to use them in my case.
Here is an example of the string:

for example if user enters Passing the parseAddress function "A. P. Croll & Son 2299 Lewes-Georgetown Hwy, Georgetown, DE 19947" returns:
2299 Lewes-Georgetown Hwy

i have thought of the following algorithm but i am having trouble implementing it...can anyone help me write the code? i know C and a bit of C++, so would prefer if the code was in these languages..
