I think this should be able to handle consecutive uppercase characters as well as simple camelCase.

For example: someVariable => someVariable, but ABCCode != A B C Code.

The below regex works on your example but also the common example of representing abbreviations in camcelCase.

"somethingLikeThis"
    .replace(/([a-z])([A-Z])/g, '$1 $2')
    .replace(/([A-Z])([a-z])/g, ' $1$2')
    .replace(/\ +/g, ' ') => "something Like This"

"someVariableWithABCCode"
    .replace(/([a-z])([A-Z])/g, '$1 $2')
    .replace(/([A-Z])([a-z])/g, ' $1$2')
    .replace(/\ +/g, ' ') => "some Variable With ABC Code"

You could also adjust as above to capitalize the first character.
