Address matching: street containing hyphens

Hi Andrei,

Yes this is possible by overriding the pre-processing function to replace custom separators from data
Here is an example

String value = "123_XYZ_Ltd_st, TX";
Function<String, String> customPreProcessing = (str -> str.replaceAll("-", " "));
customPreProcessing = customPreProcessing.andThen(PreProcessFunction.addressPreprocessing());

Element element = new Element.Builder().setType(ADDRESS)
    .setPreProcessingFunction(customPreProcessing)
    .setValue(value)
    .createElement();

So as you create the Element object, pass in the customPreProcessing function, which will standardize the data before the algorithm considers them for match

Hope this helps

Thanks,
Manish
