Breaking Strings into chars that are in upper case

Question

I\'m making a method to read a whole class code and do some stuff with it.

What I want to do is get the name of the method, and make a String with it.

Answer 1

public String convertMethodName(String methodName) {
    StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder().append(Character.toUpperCase(methodName.charAt(0)));
    for (int i = 1; i < methodName.length(); i++) {
        char c = methodName.charAt(i);
        if (Character.isUpperCase(c)) {
            sb.append(' ');
        }
        sb.append(c);
    }
    return sb.toString();
}

Handling it this way may give you some finer control in case you want to add in functionality later for other situations (multiple caps in a row, etc.). Basically, for each character, it just checks to see if it's within the bounds of capital letters (character codes 65-90, inclusive), and if so, adds a space to the buffer before the word begins.

EDIT: Using Character.isUpperCase()
