Hi all,
Hoping to find some help on this one! I have a list of thousands of addresses containing numbers and street names, and I'm trying to "shave off" the number (and sometimes, unit name - e.g. 15/A or 64C) from this list in order to isolate the street name. Unfortunately there are no clear delimiters to work with that I can see. Here's a sample of some of the data below:
[TABLE="width: 233"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD="width: 233"]187 Puriri Street
[TABLE="width: 233"]

[TD="width: 233"]221A-D Puriri Street
[TABLE="width: 233"]

[TD="width: 233"]48A&B Great North Road

Every address always starts with a number without fail. Any help would be much appreciated!
