Separate sentence into different text boxes

Hello,

 

I am looking for a script that will allow me to separate my "Year, Make, Model" textbox:

 

Text1 reads: 2019 Toyota Highlander

 

I need the following:

Text2: 2019

Text3: Toyota

Text4: Highlander

 

If I encounter a two-word name (like Land Rover or Mercedes-Benz), will I have to deal with it and leave it as one word (like LandRover, MercedesBenz)?

Yes, unless you can define the logic to separate the make from the model (which can both be more than one word, so it's tricky to do, I think). But Mercedes-Benz will work fine, since it will be considered one word anyway.

The basic code would be something like this (as the custom Validation script of that field):

 

var parts = event.value.split(" ");
if (parts.length==3) {
	this.getField("Text2").value = parts[0];
	this.getField("Text3").value = parts[1];
	this.getField("Text4").value = parts[2];
} else {
	this.getField("Text2").value = "";
	this.getField("Text3").value = "";
	this.getField("Text4").value = "";
}
