Here she goes Martin...

Public Function SplitWords(ByVal s as string) as string
Dim strAns as string
Dim c as char

For Each c in s
If Char.IsUpper(c) Then
strAns += " "
End If

strAns += c
Next

Return strAns
End Function

What I really need is a short simple solution for this scenario:

Imagine word like this:
"TheSimpleSolution"
I need to turn it to:
"The Simple Solution"

I need a solution, something which would turn connected words and
separate them using spaces. Basically, a script which would add the
space ahead of each capitalized character.

Please, be so good and let me know, I know I am pretty much asking for
ready script, but whatever you mention, whatever help or sugestion
will be much appreciated.

Thanks a lot.
Martin

Fabricio,

Seeing your code I am sure you know the Stringbuilder and just are thinking
something as "why use that for such a simple string".

I have seen that even for short strings the stringbuilder gives beter result
and sometimes OPs are giving a simple sample to use it for long strings.

For Martin, with the stringbuilder the code from Fabricio can be.

Public Function SplitWords(ByVal s as string) as string
Dim strAns as new system.text.stringbuilder
Dim c as char
For Each c in s
If Char.IsUpper(c) Then
strAns.append( " ")
End If
strAns.append(c)
Next
Return strAns.tostring
End Function

I don't use the Stringbuilder object much... actually I've never used it.
When you say it "gives better results" do you mean performance. Is it more
efficient than a built-in string object. Also, how's its overhead compared
to the string object? Thanks for the info Cor.

Strings in .NET are immutable, contantenating two strings will create a
new string object that consists of the concatenated strings. 'StringBuilder'
overcomes this issue.

I suggest to take a look at the documentation for the 'System.String'
and 'System.Text.StringBuilder' classes.
