Add (7) Word Space - Exclude Non-Alphanumeric Characters

[Admin]

In most modern regex flavors (PCRE, JavaScript, Python’s re, etc.), the special token \b (word boundary) matches the position between a “word” character (\w) and a “non-word” character (\W), or the start/end of the string. By definition:

Word characters (\w) are:
Upper- and lower-case letters (A–Z, a–z)
Digits (0–9)
The underscore (_)

Non-word characters (\W) are everything else (spaces, punctuation, symbols, etc.), including the hyphen (-).

That's correct, if you were to implement the 2 feature requests those file name examples would not be changed.

However, there are also scenarios where it would be desirable to have the option to insert spaces between strings of consecutive capital letters and between capital letters that reside next to non-alpha numeric characters. So it would be nice to have those options also.

insert spaces between strings of consecutive capital letters

Regex
Match: (?<=[A-Z])(?=[A-Z])/g
Replace: <sp>

<sp> = space

insert spaces before capital letter

Regex
Match: (?<!^)(?=[A-Z])/g
Replace: <sp>

<sp> = space

-----------------------------------

I think adding a Word Space with Add (7) should just result in:

"MyHolidayTomorrow" -> "My Holiday Tomorrow"
"My_Holiday_Tomorrow" remains unchanged
"My-Holiday-Tomorrow" remains unchanged
[PREFIX] remains unchanged

This matches better the "Word Space" functionality as you mentioned.

Maybe implementing a new independent "Spacing" rule could be a good idea ?
