Hello

I might have a solution for you…

Please provide a full sample (de-identified)?

I am assuming they have a capital letter at the start and lowercase for the remaining?

To add a space between, try this pattern:
(?<=[a-z])(?=[A-Z])
THen insert a " "

You will also need to add an IF condition to handle when there is no match.

To remove spaces, you could try this pattern:
^\s*
Then replace with - “”

You can directly Trim the Cell Value before any other operators.

Hello

To insert a space:
Try this in an Assign activity:
System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.Replace(INSERTYOURVARIABLE, “(?<=[a-z])(?=[A-Z])”, “ ”)

To clear the excessive spaces:
Try this in an Assign activity:
System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.Replace(INSERTYOURVARIABLE, “^\s*”, “”)

For more information about Regex - check out my Regex MegaPost which has a working demo you can download - (no replace activities though).
