does virtuemart support credit card reader?

[simo]

Hi,

I have a magtek card reader and I want it to read the credit card information and automatically fill out the text boxes that are in relate to it from the transaction page.
The card reader that I have is: "The MagTek SureSwipe features a magnetic read head on either side, saving card flipping and checkout time. The SureSwipe is available with a USB interface in either HID or a Keyboard Emulation mode and it can be reconfigured in the field. The SureSwipe reader captures 3 tracks of data from all ISO and AAMVA encoded magnetic stripe cards. A green/red LED indicator on the reader provides the operator with status of the reader operations."

The card reader reads in this format: "%B1234123412341234^CardUser/John^030510100000019301000000877000000?;1234123412341234=0305101193010877?"
I have a java script that can do the importing but I am fairly new to virtuemart and I was hopping for some guidance.
Does virtuemart even support such feature and if it does, what would I have to do to get it to work?
