Or do you have an example where the house number is at the beginning and the string ends with another number? Either way, in a situation where you have two possibilities (either "1234" is the house number or "1ST") it shouldn't be a problem to try both addresses (ie. lookup in database). Seems rather simple to me. By the way, is the input field for the city a different one, or can the user put country + city + street + house number all in one string? For example, Google understands this one: Via 4 Novembre 2, 25010 Limone sul Garda, Brescia, Lombardia, Italia It also works omitting the "Via" (Italian for "Street"): 4 Novembre 2, 25010 Limone sul Garda, Brescia, Lombardia, Italia This means: (Via) 4 Novembre <-- street name 25010 <-- ZIP code Limone sul Garda <-- city Brescia <-- province Lombardia <-- region Italia <-- guess what.. ;-) Udo _______________________________________________ dev mailing list dev@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/dev
