Parsing text in a TextBox

[stretrewtr]

Good Day,

I am hoping I can get some help using JavaScript. I have a 10 page PDF document with multiple fill in boxes for users to fill in on a Ipad using Acrobat Reader DC.

I am currently using Acrobat Pro DC  and in the 1st page, the user copies an Email received from dispatch.  Using a button, I want to take this data and parse out the Invoice #, Physical Address, and telephone number so I can use this variable to fill in the other pages of the PDF. Example of a pasted Email;

Invoice 1234567

Address 23 Main St

              San Marco Ca

              99002

Telephone 901-111-1212

Variable example;

var Invoice = 1234567

var Address =  23 Main St

var City  = San Marco

var State = CA

Var Zip = 99002

Var Phone = 901-111-1212

Thank you.

You can split the value by lines (see: JavaScript String split() Method) and then parse each string as necessary (removing the "Telephone " text, for example), and apply each line to a different field. However, I don't think it's going to work on an iPad, but you can try...

Thank you try67!  Even though you pointed me in the right direction, I was able to use the JS substr function to perform the text extraction.
