<p>Hi Alexandre,</p>
<p>I use an Excel spreadsheet (enclosed) to do this kind of transformation for Dutch-language street names. There's a macro (Alt-f11) which writes a file "fix_names" (the path is hard-coded in the macro code, sorry about that - please edit to suit). There's a tab for prefixes, one for suffixes, and one for the matching rules. You need to "include" this "fix_names" from an appropriate place in the "lines" file.</p>
<div> </div>
<p>I hope it's useful - please let me know if you have any questions!</p>

<p>Hi everyone,</p>
<p>I want to do some transformations on the names of all the Ways, is there a standard way to do that? For example, I want to replace all occurrences of "Avenida" for "Av.".</p>
<p>I tried adding this to my lines file:</p>
<p><code>highway=* & name ~ '(?i)avenida\s+.*' { add streettype:movedend='${name|subst:(?i)avenida\s+~>}, Av.'} #</code></p>
<p>But There was no effect.</p>
<p>Thanks in advance,</p>
<p> Alexandre</p>
