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) 
replace address with strtran(address,allt(city)) for allt(city) $ address and !empty(city) 
replace address with allt(address)+" "+city for !" " $ allt(address) 
replace city with "" for allt(city) $ address and !empty(city) 
release comalias

As a new customer of Accuzip, I just wanted to thank you for all of Accuzip’s help and patience with us in preparing this job so well. Our particular thanks to your technicians for multiple support calls and emails with our elementary questions while we learned on-the-job. Frankly, none of us had any experience with postal regulations or mail list technology, so we are especially grateful to have had them as a resource. Please tell them how much we appreciate their help!
