I have a regular expression in JavaScript to split my camel case string at the upper-case letters using the following code (which I subsequently got from here):
"MyCamelCaseString" .replace(/([A-Z])/g, ' $1') .replace(/^./, function(str){ return str.toUpperCase(); }) Thus that returns:
"My Camel Case String" Which is good. However, I want to step this up a notch. Could someone help me with a regex which will split if, and only if, the former character is lower-case and the latter is upper-case.
Thus, the above example will be the result I expect, but if I do:
"ExampleID" Then I get returned:
"Example ID" Instead of
"Example I D" Since it's splitting at each upper-case and ignoring anything before it.
Hope that makes sense! And thanks :).

Another way to convert a camel case string into a capital case sentence is to use the split method to split a string at the start of each word, which is indicated by the capital letter. Then we can use join to join the words with a space character.
First, use an empty list 'words' and append the first letter of 'str' to it. Now using a for loop, check if the current letter is in lower case or not, if yes append it to the current string, otherwise, if uppercase, begin a new individual string.
Meaning of camel case in English. the use of a capital letter to begin the second word in a compound name or phrase, when it is not separated from the first word by a space: Examples of camel case include "iPod" and "GaGa".
My guess is replacing /([A-Z])/ with /([a-z])([A-Z])/ and ' $1' with '$1 $2'
"MyCamelCaseString" .replace(/([a-z])([A-Z])/g, '$1 $2'); /([a-z0-9])([A-Z])/ for numbers counting as lowercase characters
console.log("MyCamelCaseStringID".replace(/([a-z0-9])([A-Z])/g, '$1 $2'))If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
