Add a space between two words

Question

I have some words like \"Light Purple\" and \"Dark Red\" which are stored as \"LightPurple\" and \"DarkRed\". How do I check for the uppercase letters in the word like \"Lig

Answer 1

You can use a regex to add a space wherever there is a lowercase letter next to an uppercase one.

Something like this:

"LightPurple".replace(/([a-z])([A-Z])/, '$1 $2')

UPDATE: If you have more than 2 words, then you'll need to use the g flag, to match them all.

"LightPurpleCar".replace(/([a-z])([A-Z])/g, '$1 $2')

UPDATE 2: If are trying to split words like CSVFile, then you might need to use this regex instead:

"CSVFilesAreCool".replace(/([a-zA-Z])([A-Z])([a-z])/g, '$1 $2$3')
