I have Geocoded a accident table  and have gotten somewhat positive results.  The issue I am seeing is that intersections in the table  without a space separating the forward slash will not be searchable.


For Example:   North Carolina Dr/Vermont St will not geocode
However:        North Carolina Dr / Vermont St will geocode properly



How can I properly geocode this list of accidents without manually changing thousands of records within the attribute table. Thanks again

if that intersection is in the table use the field calculator (python parser) to replace the single / with a space wrapped one

>>> "North Carolina Dr/Vermont St".replace("/", " / ")
'North Carolina Dr / Vermont St'
>>>

substitute your fieldname for the example text string shown
