I need to properly format a Canadian zip code if its entered in wrong.
Format is ### ### where "#" can be either a number or letter for example : M5R 2G3
I've tried this: (its broken up for testing purposes)
shipping.zip = shipping.zip.toUpperCase().split('')
shipping.zip = shipping.zip.splice(3, 0, ' ')
shipping.zip = shipping.zip.join().replace(/,/g, '');
But when I enter in :
m5r2g3
I Get this:
[ 'M', '5', 'R', '2', 'G', '3' ]
[ ]
And thats it. I have no idea why its not working. Please help. Thanks.

Like British, Irish and Dutch postcodes, Canada's postal codes are alphanumeric. They are in the format A1A 1A1, where A is a letter and 1 is a digit, with a space separating the third and fourth characters.
Select the cell or range of cells that you want to format. , click Custom. In the Format Cells dialog box, under Category, click Custom. In the Type box, type *0 followed by the postal code format that you want to use.
The most complete ZIP Code is a nine-digit number consisting of five digits, a hyphen, and four digits, which the USPS describes by its trademark ZIP+4. The correct format for a numeric ZIP+4 code is five digits, a hyphen, and four digits.
Canadian postal codes are usually written with a space, and the module should not fail a postal code for validation because it does (or does not) have a space between the two three-character groups. Patch follows shortly.
'm5r2g3'.toUpperCase().replace(/\W/g,'').replace(/(...)/,'$1 ') // "M5R 2G3"
The replace(/\W/g,'') removes all non-alphanumeric characters (including commas).
