How you do this depends on what you mean by "flow from the first field into the succeeding fields". Do you mean that the text is divided up into pieces that exactly fill all the fields? Or that the text is parsed into recognizable quantities like "name", "phone", etc.

I'll assume you are parsing the data. This is not a trivial exercise. The practicality of automating this depends entirely on the consistancy of the data format pasted into the first field. For Example, one easy method of parsing is to divide the text into words like this:

var aWords = TextField1.rawValue.split(" ");

The text is split into an array by spaces. Now it can be placed in other fields.

FirstName.rawValue = aWords[0];
LastName.rawValue = aWords[1];
Phone.rawValue = aWords[2];

This is nice and simple as long as you can depend on the quanties not having any spaces. This scheme works well for text like this

But falls apart for a string like this

So you see what I mean about it being non-trivial. If you have predictable formatting you can divy up the different bits pretty easily, but any variation means you have to impliment a much more complex scheme.
