Question

I’ve got a file whose format I’m altering via a python script. I have several camel cased strings in this file where I just want to insert a single space before the capital letter – so ‘WordWordWord’ becomes ‘Word Word Word’.

My limited regex experience just stalled out on me – can someone think of a decent regex to do this, or (better yet) is there a more pythonic way to do this that I’m missing?

Answer 1

You could try:

>>> re.sub(r'(\w)([A-Z])', r'\1 \2', 'WordWordWord') 'Word Word Word'
