'Python parse inconsistent free form street names using regex
For data in the following structure I want to obtain the parsed street name details:
# streetname 1() refers to house number 1 with an empty () additional qualifier
keyword_token: street name 4()
keyword_token: street-name 14()
keyword_token: streetname 123()keyword_token: streetname 123()
# why is it logged one message per line, but we get the address logged twice - sometimes??
keyword_token: streetname 9(7)keyword_token: streetname 9(7)
keyword_token: streetname 27()\r\n a lot more text and log messages in the free form text log - one messageper line \n
keyword_token: street-name 1-23(BLOCK D HAUS 6)keyword_token: street-name 1-23(BLOCK H HAUS 2)keyword_token: street-name 1-23(BLOCK G HAUS 3)',
The ideall expected result is: 3 fields for each record:
- street name
- house number
- additional qualifier (empty/NaN) if it is empty/missing
So far I experimented with the regex of: keyword_token(.*), but this is giving the whole line after the keyword token.
Complications:
- I am only interested in the first match (not many) i..e only the first occurence of
keyword_token: - the street name itself can be quite inconsistent (spaces, -) it will start after the
keyword_token:and go until the(
edit: an example regex101 is found here https://regex101.com/r/ueEfNU/1
edit 2: also not numeric house numbers need to be supported.
keyword_token: street_name 32a()
