street-address

I'm a beginner programmer, took a few courses in university and therefore don't have a complete understanding of the field. I figured I'd give a shot at coding an android application with GoogleMaps API and found the need to convert a user inputted address (in String format) into Google's complementary LatLng class , or more precisely, extract latitude and longitude coordinates in order to input into the LatLng constructor (JAVA). My search online in the matter yielded little to no results as the code suggested online is complex given the question at hand is a pretty standard one. I figured

Hey, I was wondering how I can find a Street Address in a string in Python/Ruby? Perhaps by a regex? Also, it's gonna be in the following format (US) 420 Fanboy Lane, Cupertino CA Thanks! Using your example this is what I came up with in Ruby (I edited it to include ZIP code and an optional +4 ZIP): regex = Regexp.new(/^[0-9]* (.*), (.*) [a-zA-Z]{2} [0-9]{5}(-[0-9]{4})?$/) addresses = ["420 Fanboy Lane, Cupertino CA 12345"] addresses << "1829 William Tell Oveture, by Gioachino Rossini 88421" addresses << "114801 Western East Avenue Apt. B32, Funky Township CA 12345" addresses << "1 Infinite

I have a client which is shipping via UPS, and therefore cannot deliver to Post Office boxes. I would like to be able to validate customer address fields in order to prevent them from entering addresses which include a PO box. It would be best if this were implemented as a regex so that I could use a client-side regex validation control (ASP.NET). I realize there's probably no way to get a 100% detection rate, I'm just looking for something that will work most of the time. This should get you started. Test to see if the Address field matches this regex. "^P\.?\s?O\.?\sB[Oo][Xx]." Translation

I'm new to rails and working on a simple application. I have a model called Client in my ERD and would like to save the address for each client. My initial thoughts where to save the address as seperate fields i.e: rails g model Client address_first:string address_second:string city:string ... but this seems very inefficient. I'm certain there must be a way to save the address s a hash, array or perhaps JSON? I've read around and people keep referring to using "serialise" but I'm uncertain if and how I would implement this for an address field. Any help would be most appreciated. Thanks It

I would like to retrieve a list of all the street addresses within a small range on a geopoint. A scenario for use is for a user to select his/her current address from a list of addresses (within say 50 meters) of current location, since location retrieval is not going to be accurate enough. I am wondering if that is possible using Google maps API? Otherwise does anyone knows an alternative API that I can use for this purpose? From what I've seen, although the Google maps reverse geocoding service returns a number of "addresses" for a geopoint they are usually just different representations of
