We have a series of addresses like the following which we'd like to reformat. Can you remove the latitude and longitude from the addresses?Example:<pre class="language-matlab">Input:
adrIn = '959 Blue Hill Ave.Dorchester, MA 2124(42.29189440573543, -71.0887162019496)';
</pre><pre class="language-matlab">Output:
adrOut = '950 Blue Hill Ave.Dorchester, MA 2124';
