Default Selective Find and Replace in addresses

HI All

I have a lot of addresses which I'm trying to tidy via search and replace in VBA.

Essentially , where there is a ", " (comma space) I want to replace this with a carriage return. I use ^p to do this.



Unfortunately , this disrupts the address incorrectly when there is a comma space following numbers.

Example ;

John Smith
11, My Street, Anytown

becomes

John Smith
11
My Street
Anytown

When it should be

John Smith
11, My Street
Anytown

I tried using advanced 'any character' formulas , but they incorrectly replace the first letters of the words.

Can someone advise how to make the carriage retrurn active where the comma space follows a letter , and not when it follows a number?

Grateful for any advice.
