Is it possible to extend the idea of place variable on "Extract Place data" tool as rule ?

http://gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gramps_3.2_Wiki_Manual_-_Tools#Extract_Place_Data_from_a_Place_Title

Something like Regex but set by the user ? :-/
Not certain we will understand what I am trying the say!

> C = Country
> S = State
> c = County
> t = Town
> s = Street

Current rule is something like: t, S zip_code

But nothing (except human) will be able to match all cases (comma, space, order): to set a rule by the user is the best way (like PlaceCompletion addon). But how to set multiple rules with common variables ? One letter will avoid translations and typos and should allow to write complex rules without "real" coding.

Note, some reports (like GraphViz based reports) seem to use "City" instead of "Place title". It makes sense (limitation on area), but we need to know that and to find a rule for extracting city from place title.


Regards,
Jérôme
