Since you have not mentioned separate inputs for them, assuming you take all of them in a single line, it would be really difficult to parse and get all of them.

Reason being, your input criteria is not putting a constraint on user to enter each of the field. They might jump/eat of some parts!

Still, the way to parse it would be to use enter/comma as delimiter and then try to find what wach of them signify. Since this would be having very bad performance based on number of combinations possible for an address anywhere in the world, I would suggest you to take the inputs as separate fields.

Like:
Street 1 textbox, Locality 1 textbox, State 1 textbox... etc.
