Not Clear on your requirement, look at this query It will fetch what you want,
but Can you explain me , what are you trying to do with pattern match in your query
select distinct a.id_town, a.ad_str1
from @table2 a join @lookup l
on a.id_town = l.id_town
and substring(a.ad_str1, 1, len(a.ad_str1) - charindex(' ', reverse(a.ad_str1))) not in (select ad_str1 from @lookup)
Thanks,

gopi Nath muluka,
i want to strip the predirection and and street abbreviation or last word. like if you have "E appple st". I want to get "apple" then check if this string exists in @lookup table. If it doesn't exists in this @lookup table then retrieve it.
Predirection have 4 ways: e, s, n, w.

Add every known variation of apple to the @lookup table, such as
insert @lookup values(1, 'appple', 'text')

I think this is what you are looking for
select distinct a.id_town,a.ad_str1
from @table2 a join @lookup l
on a.id_town = l.id_town
and Replace(case left(a.ad_str1,2)
When 'E ' then right(a.ad_str1,len(a.ad_str1)-2)
When 'W ' then right(a.ad_str1,len(a.ad_str1)-2)
When 'N ' then right(a.ad_str1,len(a.ad_str1)-2)
When 'S ' then right(a.ad_str1,len(a.ad_str1)-2)
Else a.ad_str1
End, ' st' ,'') not in (select ad_str1 from @lookup)
Thanks,

How about this
declare @table table (ad_str1 varchar(50))
insert @table
select 'apple avenue w' union all
select 'melon road e' union all
select 'watermelon circle n'union all
select 'banana durian crossing s'
select * from @table
update @table set ad_str1 =
replace(ad_str1, reverse(substring(reverse(ad_str1), 3, charindex(' ', reverse(ad_str1), 3) - 3)), 'internet')
where left(reverse(ad_str1), 2) in ('n ', 's ', 'e ', 'w ')
select * from @table
