ConformAddressString Function

Overview

The ConformAddressString function converts an address line or city to upper- and lower-case by using internal dictionaries and special rules.

Syntax/Parameters

Syntax

string = ConformAddressString ( string data, [boolean force] );

Parameters

data

A string as the source data with a maximum size of 256 characters.

force

An optional boolean flag to force the function to disregard the dictionaries. If set to TRUE, the function will force the terms to upper- and lower-case.

Return Value

Returns a string with adjusted text case.

Remarks

This function essentially makes each word in the data string initial-caps, if forced, or matches the word to how it appears in the appropriate dictionary. Certain words, if found with a case match in the abbreviated word pronoun dictionary, are not adjusted. When adjusting a city name, always use the force option.
