How to Separate Capitalized Text?

Hi - This is my first post. Congratulations on writing this amazing piece of software, very nice work.

My question is how do I separate capitalized text from a sentence (with spaces).

eg:

Source Filename: This is AFileNameTo be cleaned.txt
Renamed File: This is A File Name To be cleaned.txt

Thanks!

I just figured the solution (in another post):

Rule 1:
Replace
Text to be replaced: ([A-Z])
Replace with: \1
Case sensitive: checked
Use regular expressions: checked

Note: Text to be replaced has a space before the \1 (or whatever character needs to be used as filler between the capitals)

Rule 2:
Remove
Remove Count: 1
Starting at: 1
Backwards: Unchecked
Use regular expressions: Unchecked

Works like a charm!

Actually this solution does not work because all files may not have Rule #1 applied which results in Rule#2 being applied, resulting in the first character being deleted from files where ONLY Rule#2 gets applied.

So there's still not a real "Separate Capitalized Text" solution unless I am missing something.

Try using this preset:
www.advancedrenamer.com/down/forum/separate_capitalized_text.aren

The big difference from your suggestion is rule #2.

Rule 1: Replace
Text to be replaced: ([A-Z])
Replace with: \1 (contains a space before \1)
Case sensitive: checked
Use regular expressions: checked

Rule 2: Replace
Text to be replaced: (two spaces)
Replace with: (one space)

Rule 3: Replace
Text to be replaced: ^ (notice the space after ^)
Replace with: (leave blank)
Use regular expressions: checked

What is done in the first is that it adds a space in front of every capital letter. This means that a space is added to the front of the file name and in front of every capital letter already having a space in front of it. Rule number 2 takes care of the double spaces and rule number 3 takes care of the space as the first character. If the filename is not starting with a capital letter, the first character will not get chopped.

I hope this works for you.

I think I might include this preset in a later release or upload it as an example in the user guide.
