How do you split a string like "TheFoxRanOverTheHill" into "The Fox Ran Over The Hill" using regular expression

asianguyinaustin

I've searched all over and I am not sure how you can split "TheFoxRanOverTheHill" into "The Fox Ran Over The Hill" using regular expression when there is no delimiter other than the captial letter tells you it is a start of another word. Thanks for all the replies.

Thank you for your help. The one thing I was missing from my code was the MatchCollection. Take care.

Here is what i have coded for that thing Screen Shot

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            string str = textBox1.Text.Trim();

            Regex re = new Regex("[A-Z]*[a-z]*");

            MatchCollection mc = re.Matches(str);
            StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();

            foreach (Match m in mc)
            {
                sb = sb.Append(" " + m.ToString());
            }

            MessageBox.Show("Final String is =" +sb.ToString() );

        }

Happy Coding :)

I want to count words in any phrase. There is no delimiter so I don't know how to indicate there are many words in a string like "TheFoxRanOverTheHill" there are 6 words in this string. The string contains no spaces.

Ok just a small detail, do you want to solve only this phrase

The Fox Ran Over The Hill

or you want to apply this to any kind of phrase?
