Standardizes the input string:
It uses regular expression engine for matching.
Does case-insensitive pattern matching.
If the formula is a good match, sets values for formula fields retrieving them from subexpressions.
If the retrieved value is a synonym or has synonyms, it is returned as an alternative of possible values: val1|val2|..|valN.
See the class definition to obtain information how the address formulas are built.
Found matches are returned as a list of TStrings-objects containing matches for an address formula. This is an example of returned match:
DIRPREFIX=N STREETNAME=Adams STREETTYPE=Ave
This is a simple example how to use the address matching class.
