“!EOLNOSPACE” is the keyword indicating that the following items are to be treated as cases of
simple truncation. After that we have one line with a comma and one with a number sign. Whenever
MapXtreme encounters a comma or a number sign in an address it will ignore it and everything after.
The examples become:
123 Appian Way
7305 Van Zandt
Space-Delimited Truncation
In space-delimited truncation MapXtreme looks for items which are space delimited and eliminates
those items and everything following. For example:
73 Appian Way Suite 829
3033 Van Zandt Room 202
To deal with such cases add the following to your abbreviation file:
!EOLSPACE
SUITE
ROOM"
!EOLSPACE” is the keyword indicating that the following items are to be treated as cases of simple
truncation. After that we have one line with “Suite” and one with a “ROOM”. Whenever MapXtreme
encounters those tokens it will truncate the address. The examples become:
73 Appian Way
3033 Van Zandt
Simple Substitution
MapXtreme uses simple substitution to remove items from an address and otherwise does nothing.
Use it to deal with:
433 Van-Rensselaer
91 St Albans’
The goal is to strip out the hyphen and the apostrophe. Make the following entries to the
abbreviation file:
!NOSPACE

“NOSPACE” is the keyword calling for simple substitution, and the hyphen and apostrophe on the
following lines are the tokens to be removed. The examples become:
