Text Formatting – Insert Blank Before Capital Letter

Inserts a space before each capital letter in a string where appropriate to separate concatenated words.

This function uses a regular expression to detect transitions between lowercase and uppercase letters, or between consecutive uppercase letters followed by lowercase (e.g., “HTMLParser” becomes “HTML Parser”).

    Public Function InsertBlankBeforeCapitalLetter(TextToProcess As String) As String
    
        Return Regex.Replace(TextToProcess, "([a-z](?=[A-Z])|[A-Z](?=[A-Z][a-z]))", "$1 ")
    End Function

    Public Function InsertBlankBeforeCapitalLetter(TextToProcess As String) As String
    
        Return Regex.Replace(TextToProcess, "([a-z](?=[A-Z])|[A-Z](?=[A-Z][a-z]))", "$1 ")
    End Function
