Split by Caps in Javascript

Question

I am trying to split up a string by caps using Javascript,

Examples of what Im trying to do:

\"HiMyNameIsBob\"  ->   \"Hi My Name Is Bob\"
\"Greet         


        

Answer 1

You can use String.match to split it.

"HiMyNameIsBob".match(/[A-Z]*[^A-Z]+/g) 
// output 
// ["Hi", "My", "Name", "Is", "Bob"]

If you have lowercase letters at the beginning it can split that too. If you dont want this behavior just use + instead of * in the pattern.

"helloHiMyNameIsBob".match(/[A-Z]*[^A-Z]+/g) 
// Output
["hello", "Hi", "My", "Name", "Is", "Bob"]
