Parse Address Command

Make sure the address, city, state, and ZIP Code information is in the field named Address. Nothing is in city, st, or zip.

Pull down the Edit menu to Command, then run this command:
replace all address with reduce(address)
replace all address with ALLT(address)+" "+ALLT(city),city with ""
use in iif(used('_uszips'),select('_uszips'),0) 
replace zip with allt(substr(address,rat(" ",allt(address)))),; 
   address with left(address,rat(" ",allt(address))); 
   for empty(zip) and isdigit(right(allt(address),1)) 
replace address with allt(address)+" "+zip,; 
   zip with "" for isalpha(allt(zip)) 
public comalias 
comalias=alias() 
use (addbs(xDefFldr)+"dmm\_uszips.dbf") in 0 order uszip 
replace city with _uszips.prefcity,; 
   st with _uszips.st for seek(left(zip,5),'_uszips') 
use in iif(used('_uszips'),select('_uszips'),0) 
replace address with left(address,rat(left(city,4),upper(address))-1) ; 
   for !empty(city) and rat(left(city,4),upper(address))>0 
replace city with allt(substr(address,rat(" ",allt(address),2))) for (empty(city) ; 
   or allt(st) $ address)

AccuZIP’s Professional Services Team has been a great resource for helping me launch Informed Delivery campaigns for my clients. I am a small direct mail marketing agency specializing in helping my clients find and retain new customers with direct mail. Informed Delivery is the best thing the post office has come up with in my 30+ years in the business. However, just like everything else with the post office, they don't make it easy. AccuZIP has made doing these digital campaigns very simple. I have analyzed campaign results and found the price per click through to the client's website less than an Adword campaign. I am looking forward to working with AccuZIP and their entire Professional Services Team with more clients and campaigns.
