Abstract

A data exchange process for transferring data representing a geographical address from a source host using a source data format to a destination host using a destination data format including the steps of: using a first driver to extract a data block from the source host and to convert the format of the data block from the source data format to an intermediate data format; and temporarily storing the data block in an intermediate memory storage location; determining if the data block includes plain text data which is not parsed and identified by corresponding tags. If the data block includes plain text data which is not parsed and identified by corresponding tags, the process provides for automatically parsing the data block into a plurality of data portions having corresponding tags associated therewith, each of the tags indicating a type of information represented by the corresponding data portion. A second driver is used to convert the format of the data block from the intermediate data format to the destination data format, and to insert the data block into the destination host. The step of automatically parsing the data block into a plurality of data portions includes the steps of: identifying a plurality of text strings of the plain text data; and comparing the text strings to a plurality of predefined patterns to determine pattern matches between the text strings and the predefined patterns.
