The Mailing Address Line Rules combine data from various output attributes with optional text to produce a mailing address. You can use Line 1 rule only or combine all three rules depending on your requirements. The Postal Matcher output attributes of Line 1, Line 2, and Line 3, are pr_addr_mail, pr_addr_mail1, and pr_addr_mail2, respectively. This option is available for China, Japan (Standard Postal Matcher), Korea, and Taiwan Postal Matchers. See Default Mailing Address Line Rules.
Format
<attribute1>text1<attribute2>text2{<attribute3>text3<attribute4>text4}
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
| <attribute> |
Attribute name from the Postal Matcher output (PREPOS). |
| text | Any desired text you want to include in the address format. If you want
to insert a space between the attributes, enter a space. Optional. Note: If
you use a question mark "?" between the attributes, when the value of
attribute 1 is the same as the value of attribute 2, the Postal Matcher
will output the value only once to avoid a repeat of the same
value.
|
| {<attribute>-<attribute>} | Specific set of attributes. These attributes will be included in the output only if the first attribute in { } is not blank. Optional. |
Single Address Line
If you want to build a simple one address line, use Mailing Address Line 1 only.
Example
| Mailing Address Line 1 rule | <pr_level1> <pr_level2> <pr_level3> <pr_area_name> <pr_level4> <pr_house_number> |
This writes out the values of pr_level1 and all other attributes one after another with spaces in one line in pr_addr_mail.
| pr_level1 | pr_level2 | pr_level3 | pr_area_name | pr_level4 | pr_house_number | |
| 广东省 | 深圳市 | 南山区 | 蛇口工业区 | 工业一路 | 1号 | |
| pr_addr_mail | 广东省 深圳市 南山区 蛇口工业区 工业一路 1号 | |||||
Multiple Address Lines
In some cases, you might want to build address blocks composed of address elements, and then build a mailing address line consisting of those address blocks. In this case, you will need to use Mailing Address Line 1, Line 2 and Line 3.
-
Enter <pr_addr_mail1><pr_addr_mail2> for Mailing Address Line 1 rule. This will concatenate those address blocks and build a mailing address line.
Example
Mailing Address Line 1 rule <pr_addr_mail1><pr_addr_mail2> Mailing Address Line 2 rule <pr_level1>?<pr_level2> Mailing Address Line 3 rule <pr_level3><pr_area_name><pr_level4> {<pr_building_name><pr_house_number>} 
In this example, Line 2 creates one address block consisting of pr_level1 and pr_level2 and writes it out to pr_addr_mail1. Line 3 creates another address block consisting of pr_level3 and others and write it out to pr_addr_mail2. Line 1 then combines those values and writes it out to pr_addr_mail.
