URGENT: String Conversion
Hi Guys
(1) I have a string as follows:
ThisIsAnExampleString
I am looking for a function to convert that string to:
This Is An Example String
(2) I also have a string as follows:
This_Is_An_Example_String
I would like to convert that string to the same as in my first question ... I can do this using the Replace Function in VB6; but I would like to use one function to do both conversions ....
Hoping my question is clear

Guy, both answers work ... brilliant, now, how could we resolve the string if it were
This_IsAnExample_String
ie its combination of both questions ...

My solution should work in that case as well...

Thasnks for the prompt help guys ... muchly appreciated ....
You could use API to check the bit of the character, if your format of the start of a new word is a capital letter than it would work perfectly. Let me know if you would like to see an example using this method.

If I have a string, AnITGuru .... it would under the current rules of the function be broken down to
An I T Guru
is it possible to change the coding so if we have two or more capitals in a row it only seperates the last one ?
So if we had
AnEXTRAA as the string - it would come out
An EXTRA A
And perhaps if string were "IAmEmployedByI.T.S.A" - it sould say
I Am Employed By I.T.S.A
I am willing to post another question - but did know how to follow on from here ... so if you have the answer, I will post a question for you for 500 points ...

The first request wouldn't be too terrible complicated, but the others add a bit more to the logic.
You can open a new question, and in the body of the question, paste the link to this question, stating it's a followup.
I'll see if I can come up with something to do what you ask...
