Find & replace

[Mac]

I have to find & replace a shortening of some Swedish street
addresses in my database and was thinking to use BBEdit for this. But
I can't figure out how. A street name in Swedish can is shortened
like this:

Roads. 10

When writing in full it will be:

Roadstreet 10

So now I am looking for a way to find all addresses ending with "s."
and replace the with "street"

Thanks!
Mats

Is there something that makes this more than just a straightforward find
and replace? Are the addresses mixed in with other text?

If the addresses are as straightforward as you have presented them,
how about using Grep-enabled BBEdit to search for:

(.+)s\. (\d+)

and replacing with:

\1street \2

Your example is not an example for a swedish streetname, give us a
real life example so that we can understand what you are talking
about.
