Parsing address info
 

I have address information obtained from a 3rd party. All information for a
particular adress is contained in a single cell with no delimiters between
address1 address 2 suburb state and postal code. I can't use fixed width in
text to columns as all components of the address are different character
lengths.

Anyone got any suggestions?

This is the best I can think of for the moment.

Sub t()
Dim rsp, c, sep As String, sp 'As String
Dim p As Integer, q As Integer
rsp = InputBox("Enter the Number of words before the separator", "Insert
commas in text", 3, 100, 100)

For Each c In Selection
Count = 0
For i = 1 To Len(c)
sp = Mid(c, i, 1)
If sp = " " Then
Count = Count + 1
If CCur(Count) = CCur(rsp) Then
c.Value = Application.WorksheetFunction.Substitute(c, sp, ", ", rsp)
End If
End If
Next i
Next
End Sub

Copy code into a vb module, select the addresses and run the code as many
times as you need.

The code will insert a comma into the 3rd space (after the third word by
default). You will have to re-run the code as often as it takes and be
careful that the data selected needs a coma after the same word on the line
above.

Try spliting up the data into like groups before running the code.

Then you can use text to columns
