Default parsing out an undelimited address and city

With all the variation of addresses, the only reliable way that I know is to do
it manually.

Good luck.

I am trying to write programing to parse out a data file to seperate
the address and the city.

Examples below:

1149 N CARRIER PKY APT A44 GARDEN PRAIRIE
306 ROYALTY AVE WALHALLA
40 DANAS CT APT 1 WESTBRIDE
4139 W HAVEN AVE MORTON

The results I want are below:

Address City
1149 N CARRIER PKY APT A44 GARDEN PRAIRIE
306 ROYALTY AVE WALHALLA
40 DANAS CT APT 1 WESTBRIDE
4139 W HAVEN AVE MORTON

I have tried text to columns with delimited by spaces, but the problem
is you don't know how many spaces there are?

Any help?

Thanks
