Insert space before capital letters

Question

I have a string \"MySites\". I want to place a space between My and Sites.

How can I do this in jQuery or JavaScript?

Answer 1

Here is what i ended up using to convert a string to a title case, based on a few of the answers here:

str = str
  .replace(/(_|-)/g, ' ')
  .trim()
  .replace(/\w\S*/g, function(str) {
    return str.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + str.substr(1)
  })   
  .replace(/([a-z])([A-Z])/g, '$1 $2')
  .replace(/([A-Z])([A-Z][a-z])/g, '$1 $2')   

Here is a JSFiddle where you can test your string to see if this meets your needs: https://jsfiddle.net/thomastasa/5236dv8t/85/

Examples:

• "yourStringHere" -> "Your String Here"
• "AnotherStringHere" -> "Another String Here"
• "someones_string" -> "Someones String"
• "Another-String-Here" -> "Another String Here"
• "myAWESOMEString" -> "My AWESOME String"
