We have a series of addresses like the following which we'd like to reformat. Each of the addresses lacks a space and a comma between the street name (which always ends with a period) and the neighborhood/city name. Can you insert a space between these?Example:<pre class="language-matlab">Input:
adrIn = '950 Blue Hill Ave.Dorchester, MA 02124';
</pre><pre class="language-matlab">Output:

We have a series of addresses like the following which we'd like to reformat. Each of the addresses lacks a space and a comma between the street name (which always ends with a period) and the neighborhood/city name. Can you insert a space between these?

*Example:*

Input:
  adrIn = '950 Blue Hill Ave.Dorchester, MA 02124';

Output:
  adrOut = '950 Blue Hill Ave., Dorchester, MA 02124';

*Feature Tip:*

<https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/release-notes.html?rntext=&startrelease=R2016b&endrelease=R2016b&groupby=release&sortby=descending R2016b> introduces string arrays and text manipulation functions which can help. To learn more see <http://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/characters-and-strings.html MATLAB Characters and Strings>.

*Background:*

Did you know the city of Boston has a number of urban orchards? This data comes form a list of these orchards. We're trying to reformat the addresses into a standard form. You can see the data <https://data.cityofboston.gov/Health/Urban-Orchards/c7cz-29ak here> or import it into MATLAB with |webread|.

data = webread('https://data.cityofboston.gov/api/views/byxy-288e/rows.csv');
