I have some addresses that have been parsed fairly well. However I several thousand that have a letter after the house #, my geocoder requires a space here.
For example I have 123A Main Street I need 123 A Main Street
So I was thinking I could use the StringReplacer transformer to search for [0-9][A-Z], but I don't know what to put in the Replacement Text field.
Hi @chris_m,
I tested here in my Workspace with the transformer StringSearch:
Attached the template Workspace - workspace-stringsearch.fmwt
Thanks,

Hi @chris_m
I would capture the house numbers and letters into two different capturing groups using ( ) in regex.
You can reference these afterwards in the replacement text field.
Your Text to match would thus become: ([0-9]+)([a-z])
and your replacement text: \\1 \\2
which basically translates to: (results of first capturing group) <space>(results of the second capturing group)
