I got an answer on stackoverflow

There is a possible extension to the regex.

I just tried your regex… it works perfectly in Java…

String s = “loremIpsum”;
words = s.split(“(? V / A / L / U / E
2) eclipseRCPExt -> eclipse / R / C / P / Ext

To my mind, the result shoud be:
1) VALUE
2) eclipse / RCP / Ext

In other words, given n uppercase chars, if there are follwed by lower case, it should be (n-1 chars) / (n-th char + lower chars)

if there are not at the end: (n chars).

If you have any idea with a regex…

Your thinking about camelCasing and PascalCasing is correct. If Wikipedia (the mother of non-authoritative sources) contradicts that, then, QED, it’s incorrect. See Microsoft for official definitions (camelCase/PascalCasing).

Please do not corrupt the world by waffling. camelCase is camelCase and PascalCase is PascalCase.
