If you don't use the (?:) part then the expression is : ".* Street" or "Avenue".

With the parenthesis it's : ".* Street" or ".* Avenue"

Hi @Emil_Kos

"?:" means it's an unmarked group so it's not parsed on its own but it rather allows to create a group where a value can be different from one row to another.


So this unmarked group is used only as keyword list and it wont be parsed on it owns. 

 

Amazing method @Jean-Balteryx 🙂👏

Hi @sanjit11,

 

Based on the 4 lines of the data that you have used you need to use the below regex. 

 

(.* (?:Street|Avenue|Road|Ave)) (.*), (.*?) (.*)


Please mark one of the @Jean-Balteryx posts as a solution as he created a working solution for you.
