I have a string and need to separate the name of the street, neighborhood, city and state.

string:

Rua tal Muniz, 124 - ramones, Sapucaia - SP

How can I do it using Javascript? (Can be a solution with or without using jQuery library)

javascript

  • The address always comes in this format there or may have variations?

  • always comes in this format

  • Could you put exactly how your array is, along with the code you tried to do? In what information was difficult?

  • @Andersoncarloswoss the information comes so in plain text I would need the separate information

  • .split(",") and subsequent split(" - ") may solve your problem. Only you can say

  • I haven’t done the code yet, I need a north to follow I have no idea how to start I need tips only

  • And the array you quoted, where it is?

  • You can start by trying to split the string into commas, then split the hyphen.

  • 2

    It is important to remember that in this idea if any of the information already has a comma or hyphen creates a problem.

    @Josimara Just a brief explanation of my edition. In case you commented that the information came in text then I believe that you do not actually have an array but a string. Another point is that you put "javascript or jquery" this "or" can allow a misinterpretation to the reader, which is the idea that jquery is not javascript, and, it is nothing more than a set of functions in javascript. I hope I’ve helped :)

One way is using the position of the separators as below:

const separar = endereco => {
  let posicao = endereco.indexOf(',');
  const rua = endereco.substring(0, posicao).trim();
  let aux = endereco.substring(posicao + 1).trim();
  posicao = aux.indexOf('-');
  const numero = aux.substring(0, posicao).trim();
  aux = aux.substring(posicao + 1).trim();
  posicao = aux.indexOf(',');
  const bairro = aux.substring(0, posicao);
  aux = aux.substring(posicao + 1).trim();
  posicao = aux.indexOf('-');
  const cidade = aux.substring(0, posicao).trim();
  aux = aux.substring(posicao + 1).trim();
  posicao = aux.indexOf('-');
  const estado = aux;
  
  return {
    rua,
    numero,
    bairro,
    cidade,
    estado,
  }
}

console.log(separar('Rua tal Muniz, 124 - ramones, Sapucaia - SP'));

Another way is by using the following regular expression:

/^(.+),(.+)-(.+),(.+)-(.+)$/gm

As follows:

const ENDERECO = /^(.+),(.+)-(.+),(.+)-(.+)$/gm;

const separar = endereco => {
  const match = ENDERECO.exec(endereco);

  return {
    rua: match[1],
    numero: match[2],
    bairro: match[3],
    cidade: match[4],
    estado: match[5],
  }
}

console.log(separar('Rua tal Muniz, 124 - ramones, Sapucaia - SP'));

  • ^ ensures the position is at the beginning of the line
  • Captures the group (.+):
    • .+ combines any character (except line terminators);
    • The quantifier + combines between 1 or unlimited times, as many times as possible;
  • , combines the literal character ,;
  • Captures the group (.+):
    • .+ combines any character (except line terminators);
    • The quantifier + combines between 1 or unlimited times, as many times as possible;
  • - combines the literal character -;
  • Captures the group (.+):
    • .+ combines any character (except line terminators);
    • The quantifier + combines between 1 or unlimited times, as many times as possible;
  • , combines the literal character ,;
  • Captures the group (.+):
    • .+ combines any character (except line terminators);
    • The quantifier + combines between 1 or unlimited times, as many times as possible;
  • - combines the literal character -;
  • Captures the group (.+);
  • $ ensures the position is at the end of the line.

If the string always follow this pattern, you can try something like this: 

var endereco = 'Rua tal Muniz, 124 - ramones, Sapucaia - SP';
var separado = endereco.split(',');

var rua     = separado[0].trim();
var bairro  = separado[1].split('-')[1].trim();
var cidade  = separado[2].split('-')[0].trim();
var estado  = separado[2].split('-')[1].trim();

console.log('Rua: ' + rua);
console.log('Bairro: ' + bairro);
console.log('Cidade: '+ cidade);
console.log('Estado: '+ estado);

Try using the code below. Testing here, it works. Before breaking the text by "," make a replacement of the "-" by a comma.

function myFunction() {
    var str = "Rua tal Muniz, 124 - ramones, Sapucaia - SP";
    str = str.replace("-", ",");
    var res = str.split(",");
    //variável res agora é um array que você pode percorrer com um loop ou posições fixas
}
