I have a dataset with home characteristics (price, size, adress .... ).  I want to get the Lat/Long using the following code below:

If I replace all spaces in the address with a '+' character, everything works fine.

If I don't I get an error. Can I add the '+' efficiently inside RM? Is there a setting in the operator "Enrich Data..." that I might be missing?

WORKS:
Property Address
83 543+Boler+Rd
92 1315+Springbank+Ave
94 1278+Springbank+Ave
36 1081+Riverside+Dr
37 831+Riverside+Dr
17 946+Oxford+St+W

DOESN'T WORK:
Property Address
83 543 Boler Rd
92 1315 Springbank Ave
94 1278 Springbank Ave
36 1081 Riverside Dr
37 831 Riverside Dr
17 946 Oxford St W

    Hi,

    I'll create an internal bugreport concerning the spaces in the urls. In the meanwhile you can use the Replace operator to replace \s (all spaces) with +.

    Best regards,
    Marius
