Will check if neither now work, or just the one. Thanks Tom – very helpful as there were at least 2 ways of doing the same thing before. Will check if neither now work, or just the one.

Using this in Conrad's class we found a couple of gotchas: - there are a few curved quotes in the code snippets which need to be replaced with straight quotes - the final GREL snippet didn't work as expected, at least not in the Google Refine v2.0 we have installed at City University. We used the following snippets instead: <code>parseJson(value).get("lat")</code> and <code>parseJson(value).get("lng")</code> Tom Thanks for this Paul.
