This should be fairly simple but I’m pulling an address from a text string so I can do a lookup in my database for the correct record.  I need to strip out a portion of that string to complete the lookup.  For example

Input:  1842 White Cedar Drive, Gastonia, North Carolina, United States

Desired result/output:   1842 White Cedar Drive
