.NET – How can you split a “caps” delimited string into an array?

by

I made this a while ago. It matches each component of a CamelCase name.

/([A-Z]+(?=$|[A-Z][a-z])|[A-Z]?[a-z]+)/g

For example:

"SimpleHTTPServer" => ["Simple", "HTTP", "Server"]
"camelCase" => ["camel", "Case"]

To convert that to just insert spaces between the words:

Regex.Replace(s, "([a-z](?=[A-Z])|[A-Z](?=[A-Z][a-z]))", "$1 ")

If you need to handle digits:

/([A-Z]+(?=$|[A-Z][a-z]|[0-9])|[A-Z]?[a-z]+|[0-9]+)/g

Regex.Replace(s,"([a-z](?=[A-Z]|[0-9])|[A-Z](?=[A-Z][a-z]|[0-9])|[0-9](?=[^0-9]))","$1 ")
