Is there a way to do this starting from the end/right? For example, if I have "123 East Smith Street, wingate, NC, 22556" I need to get at the city. I need to start from the end/right because some strings of data have apartment numbers or po boxes at the start of the string separated by commas so it's inconsistent to start from the left/front.
