Find within string, location where space doesn't occur before upper (capital) letter
Show older comments
I have multiple strings from excel file and would like to do the following.
string='GeneralCase and UpperManagement'
So I would like to extract first
'General'
then
'Case and Upper'
then
'Management'
Is this possible using regexp?
Thanks in advance for your help

A simpler solution can be achieved in one line using regexp, and without using any loops or non-preallocated cell arrays:
>> string = 'GeneralCase and UpperManagement';
>> regexp(string,'.*?[a-z](?=[A-Z]|$)','match')
ans =
'General' 'Case and Upper' 'Management'
Note that regexp also allows cell arrays of strings as it input, so you process large numbers of strings in one go using this method.
