formatting an auto-populating street address in fillable form

[A.C.27466875blg1]

I have a form where the addresses auto-populate as a single line like:

1234 Main St., City, ST 123456789

and I want it to show up like

1234 Main St.
City, ST 12345-6789

If I cant break the line between street and city, is it possible to at least add a - in the zip?  Any help with the custom formatting javascript would be greatly appreciated.

What script does you use?

its seems to only allow javascript

How do you populate address? You can use \n to break a line in script.

we upload these fillable forms to our medical record system with pre-defined form fields and when we load the form for a patient it autopopulates the fields.  i dont have control over how the text is received into the form but if there can be some processing in the pdf on receipt of the text, we could hopefully make it behave the way we want

Set field as 'Multiline' in field properties under options tab, and put this in that field under 'Validate' tab at 'Run custom validation script':

if(event.value){
var str = event.value;
var address = str.slice(0, str.indexOf(","));
var city = str.slice(str.indexOf(",") + 2);
event.value = address+"\n"+city;}

Or, just use:

event.value = event.value.replace(", ", "\n");
