Welcome to the Make community!
If there’s always going to be three commas separating the fields, you can use the Text Parser “Match Pattern” module with this regular expression pattern and “Global match” set to “Yes”.
(?<street>[^,]+), (?<city>[^,]+), (?<state>[^,]+), (?<zip>[^,]+)

Match Pattern
The Match pattern module enables you to find and extract string elements matching a search pattern from a given text. The search pattern is a regular expression (aka regex or regexp), which is a sequence of characters in which each character is either a metacharacter, having a special meaning, or a regular character that has a literal meaning.
- The complete list of metacharacters can be found on the MDN web docs website.
- For a tutorial on how to create regular expressions, we recommend the RegexOne website.
- For an easy, quick regex generator, try the Regular Expressions generator.
- For experimenting with regular expressions, we recommend the regular expressions 101 website. Just make sure to tick the ECMAScript (JavaScript) FLAVOR in the left panel.
Hope this helps!
