This doesn't work for numbered streets as in: 754 191st Street SW

The only odd thing I noticed is that as long as you have a valid address to start, you can have an unlimited amount of garbage text afterwards and it will still match. Thanks though, for the code, and the link to Expresso!

I just noticed what you were getting at. It does seem strange that the fllstop is allowed. Once again sorry about the above comment.

Why would 15 Fergusson St be an incorrect match?? That is a valid street address so of course it should match.

Comment:
Using the 'test' function on the site - "15 Fergusson St." incorrectly is a match. Java's String.match function does it correctly by failing on the last '.' Thanks for the RE!

The middle NON-Match actualy has extra whitespace between the 65 and Beechworth. It displays here with out that being obvious
