Regex extract string based on String match - regex

Question

I have this data with some messy addresses inside which contains sometimes not in order a Province, District, and ward :
Name ADDRESS
Store1 453, Duy Tan, Phuong Nguyen Nghiem, Thanh pho Quang Ngai
Store2 13 DUNG SY THANH KHE, P. THANH KHE TAY
Store3 98 Phan Xich Long- P. 2
Store4 306 B4, NGUYENVAN LINH, Ward - 5
Store5 22, Ngo 421/16, Tran Duy Hung, To 42, Phuong Trung Hoa, Quan Cau Giay
public override void Input0_ProcessInputRow(Input0Buffer Row)
{
//Replace each \ with \\ so that C# doesn't treat \ as escape character
//Pattern: Start of string, any integers, 0 or 1 letter, end of word
string sPattern = "^[0-9]+([A-Za-z]\\b)?";
string sString = Row.ADDRESS ?? ""; //Coalesce to empty string if NULL
//Find any matches of the pattern in the string
Match match = Regex.Match(sString, sPattern, RegexOptions.IgnoreCase);
//If a match is found
if (match.Success)
//Return the first match into the new
//HouseNumber field
Row.ward= match.Groups[0].Value;
else
//If not found, leave the HouseNumber blank
Row.ward= "";
}
}
I would like to modify my regex formula to return the data like this in the column Ward. (you can see the synonyms in my addresses (Phuong,P.,ward,etc).
Name ADDRESS ward
Store1 453, Duy Tan, Phuong Nguyen Nghiem, Quang Ngai Phuong Nguyen Nghiem
Store2 13 DUNG SY THANH KHE, P. THANH KHE TAY Phuong THANH KHE TAY
Store3 98 Phan Xich Long- P. 2 Phuong 2
Store4 306 B4, NGUYENVAN LINH, Ward - 5 Phuong 5
Store5 22, Ngo 421/16,--. To 42, Phuong Trung Hoa, Quan Cau Giay Phuong Trung Hoa
I use that regex expression to extract the civic number, but is there a way with REGEX i can modifiu return the data in my column ward like in the example above?

Answer 1

The groups in this regex, as tested in https://regex101.com/, match the data in your column ward, as in your example. However, you may need to better define the patterns where each will appear since this regex only matches them as they appear in your example data. However, it may be enough for you to extrapolate and get the regex that you really need.
(Phuong.*),|P\.(.*$)|Ward - (.*$)
The group in option 1 matches from Phuong (inclusive) until the first comma.
The group in option 2 matches anything that comes after P. until the end of the string.
The group in option 3 matches anything that comes after Ward - until the end of the string.
This one is a bit more advanced, but it only matches what you mentioned in your examples, no groups:
Phuong.*(?=,)|(?<=P\.).*$|(?<=Ward - ).*$
Test it in https://regex101.com to see how it works and to see what each part means.
Finally, you may want to exclude Phuong from the match in option 1 on so that your program can always print Phuong and then the match.
