I am working on an issue where I need to check a street field or exact matches at a minimum but also, if at all possible, fuzzy matches. For example, if I have address
1234 Some Road
, it should at least direct match to 1234 Some Road
on the other side of the newline. I would also like to match 999 Somewhere Lane
and 999 Somewhere Ln
. Obviously, addresses won't have identical lengths so it has have some flexibility and there shouldn't be any more than two rows since the website this is on caps it at Address 1 and 2.
entity_id, parent_id, customer_address_id, quote_address_id, concat(firstname, ' ', lastname) as 'name', street, city, region, postcode from sales_order_address where (street regexp "\n" or street regexp "\r" or street regexp "\r\n");
This query found all rows with any type of newline but as stated above, I need to match the newlines as though they're unique 'rows'.
This comment - https://stackoverflow.com/a/50490998/18582667 - seems to imply this kind of matching is possible, but I haven't found a definitive answer to that anywhere.
Even if I can't fuzzy match, a direct match will be fine and will help me locate street fields with an issue. I'm also fine with a roundabout way of matching so it doesn't need to be super concise.
What are my options, if any?
