JavaScript to parse text

Another question, hopefully not as trivial as the last.

Is there a way to use javascript to parse portions of a textarea into specific text boxes on a web page? The attached image is an example of what I want to do. The user pastes data into a text area and I need the individual text boxes to the right to be populated with the corresponding data so that the text boxes can be used to populate a database. If it is easier, the text boxes don't necessarily have to be on the same page, I can have them on a subsequent form and have them populated when the first form with the textarea is submitted.

 

the split() function will let you split a string into an array of values.

so if you were to split by a line break then you would have an array containing all the linesthen loop through each line and spit it into its individual parts.

Are you running any server side scripting ? it may be easier to submit the form and seal with the value using php/asp(.net) and then populate the boxes.
