what is the preg for capitals in a word to be replaced by that word preceded by a space

[monomaniac21]

hi all

what is the preg for capitals in a word to be replaced by that word
preceded by a space?

i need to be able to do this in preg:

thisWord := this Word
AnotherExample := Another Example

strings with capitals sorrounded by other chars need to have a space
inserted before the capital.

$string = '
thisSeems
toWork
prettyWell';

echo preg_replace('/([a-z])([A-Z])/',"$1 $2",$string);

IWantIt2Work =IWant It2Work

Try:

echo preg_replace('/(.)([A-Z])/', "$1 $2", $string);

This won't always work either, although I haven't tested it.
If (.) can be any character then " Word" will be replaced by " Word"
(2 spaces).

Maybe this:
preg_replace('/(\w)([A-Z])/', "$1 $2", $string);

That's no good because it would transform WORD into WO RD...

Maybe this then:
preg_replace('/([a-z\d])([A-Z])/', "$1 $2", $string);

Into 'W OR D' actually. But then again, the OP never specified what he
wanted to happen when multiple uppercase letters appear consecutively.
