Parse POTA park from the Cluster #482

Could it be possible to parse the park from the cluster so that when you double click the contact, the POTA field be filled?

I would really like it. And not just POTA, but also SOTA, WWFF are here. However, the DXC message is free-text. So, the format is not very standardized, and it is entirely up to the operator what they write there.

I have about 250k records from DXC for testing, and for example, POTA is reported in several ways. For example, K-0744 or K0344, sometimes as POTA and WWFF reference number follows !!!. There is even more chaos with WWFF. Sometimes as IFF0520, IFF-0520, or IFF 520.

I’m not sure if I can capture all the variations of different notations. Do you know any reliable method for recognition? Just a note, searching for individual strings in a list of POTA/SOTA/WWFF is not possible. It is very time-consuming operation.
