Outward-inward postcode formatter: the typed space is kept inside the code · case 03
"ZX3 9ZZ" is rejected because the outward part ends in a space.
Case contract
Remove all whitespace and uppercase. Length must be 5..7. The inward code is the last three characters: digit, letter, letter, where neither letter may be one of C I K M O V. The outward code is the rest: alphanumeric, starting with a letter and containing at least one digit. Return "OUTWARD INWARD" or None.
Why this case matters
Codes whose outward part varies in length must be split from the right; mis-splitting sends deliveries to the wrong sorting district.
