PascalCasingUtil

This is an algorithm to convert a string of (space) separated Words to a PascalCase string (without spaces) and back. The conversion is lossy.

Get Started

string pascalizedString = PascalCasingUtil.ToPascalCase("hello GmbH, the answer is: Value42!");

// returns "HelloGmbhTheAnswerIsValue42"

string unpascalizedString = PascalCasingUtil.SplitFromPascalCase("HelloGmbhTheAnswerIsValue42");

// returns "Hello Gmbh The Answer Is Value42"

The ToPascalCase Algorithm

  • Read: Everything that is not a letter or a number will be interpreted as separator
  • Read: Everything between separators is a token
  • Write: First letter of a token is upper case, the rest is lower case
    • (destroying the original casing of a token)
  • Write: Tokens will be concatenated without any separator
    • (dropping everything of the original string that is not a letter or a number)

The SplitFromPascalCase Algorithm

  • Insert a space before each upper case character, except the first one.
