street-address

I have 5000, sometimes more, street address strings in an array. I'd like to compare them all with levenshtein to find similar matches. How can I do this without looping through all 5000 and comparing them directly with every other 4999? Edit: I am also interested in alternate methods if anyone has suggestions. The overall goal is to find similar entries (and eliminate duplicates) based on user-submitted street addresses. I think a better way to group similar addresses would be to: create a database with two tables - one for the address (and a id), one for the soundexes of words or literal

I know there are many questions asked on this topic. I am trying to parse and fetch street addresses from html page. The format of these page do not follow any patterns. Can someone help me in comming up with a regex that would match a street address, irrespective of the number of tags between them? Are there any other ways to do this other than using regular expressions? Matt Having worked on this problem quite extensively at SmartyStreets, I will tell you " NO " to parsing/finding street addresses with a regex . Addresses are not a regular language and cannot be matched by a regular

I have the longitude and latitude into two separate EditText I want that when I press a button the street name appears in another EditText. I tried with the Public Address getAddressForLocation method, but I have not gotten it to work.. Code public Address getAddressForLocation(Context context, Location location) throws IOException { if (location == null) { return null; } double latitude = location.getLatitude(); double longitude = location.getLongitude(); int maxResults = 1; Geocoder gc = new Geocoder(context, Locale.getDefault()); List<Address> addresses = gc.getFromLocation(latitude,

I'm trying to see what would be a good way to validate a US address, I know that there might be not a proper way of doing this, but I'm going for the basic way: #, Street name, City, State, and Zip Code. Any ideas will be appreciate it. Thanks Ask the user to enter parts of the address in separate fields (Street name, City, State, and Zip Code) and use whatever validation appropriate for such a field. This is the general practice. Alternatively, if you want simplest of regex that matches for four strings separated by three commas, try this: /^(.+),([^,]+),([^,]+),([^,]+)$/ If things match, you

Can anyone point me to a list of international postal / residential / delivery address format templates that use some kind of parseable standard vocabulary for address parts? The ideal list contains a country code then a format using replaceable tokens so I can substitute database address fields into a template to produce something printable in the local format. for example NZ | [first_name] [family_name]\n[company_name]\n[street_address]\n[city] [post_code]\n[country] AU | [first_name] [family_name]\n[company_name]\n[street_address]\n[city]\n[state] [post_code]\n[country] US | etc UK | etc
