Add Spaces (between capital letters and symbols)?

Postby Blue » Fri Feb 08, 2008 3:30 pm

Hoping I'm not blind... I've searched several times, using different criteria, both here and in the program's help.

Thank you for an incredibly useful utility!

Gladly and thank you for your reply!

FirstSecond-ThirdForth.txt -> First Second - Third Forth.txt

Apologize for not being more specific in my initial inquiry. : )

I think the only way you'll be able to to this is via a Regular Expression. There's a thread here which attempts something vaguely similar, but I'm not really sure if it can be applied to your situation.

I've now coded something similar for the next release. A new "WordSpace" feature will allow you to insert a space before capitals (but not symbols, sorry).

That's good news. Should be a very handy feature! And who knows, a method to include symbols could come down the road. : )

I did look through the link(s) above, didn't see a way to make regular expressions work for me. Also for what it's worth, while I've never had need for another file rename utility, I looked around to see if there was one with "WordSpace" capability... there's nothing else out there that I could find.

Thank you for the assistance and for the fantastic utility!

Here is the link again: BRU Support ==> Topic: Can I do this? (new user) .... or scroll there more down and try "by Glenn on Tue Nov 20, 2007 3:55 am" last RegEx example
