Does anyone have an address parsing tool

[Murray Towers]

Does anyone have an address parsing tool, we need an in-house tool, we need to build it or purchase one.

Can you explain what an address parsing tool is/does?

From a block of free text a parser can reconise an addres and parse it out. ie. Not just from an address field.

An address like a web address?
The URI class has some parsing abilities, but it would need just the address part of a string I think.

Could you search for http:// and then stop when you hit a space?

No sorry a street address, it had to both recognise and pull a street address from a block of text.

Google might have something? I use gmail and if an address is mentioned in the email, google will make a like "View it on a map" link off to the side.
They probably have like a regex documented somewhere.
