    Hi,

    Trying to force regex validation for the Title field of posts to match addresses of Australia (real estate site).

    Example:

    30 Chesterton Ave, Sydney NSW 2028

    Ideally, I’d like the spaces and comma after street type (in this case ‘ave’) to be strictly required. This is my (terrible) attempt at a regex line so far which doesn’t work for me:

    /^\d+\s[A-z]+\s[A-z]{1,4},+\s[A-za-z]+\s[A-Z]{1,5}+\s[0-9]{4}$/

    Thanks for any help!

    Hi Alex,

    Turns out my regex expression wasn’t actually wrong, but the validation field does not need the’/’ character at the start and end of the expression.

    Hi Fraser ,

    Please use only 

    ^\d+\s[A-z]+\s[A-z]+

    It will work for you.

    Thanks
