Regex for ... genealogical names

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



A slightly more complex problem than phone numbers ...

It is a sort of convention to use the format 'JohnDoeSMITH' or 'John Doe SMITH' where each forename starts with a capital and the surname is in upper case. I have a crude method of scanning for the capitals and splitting this to give me an array of name segments with [0] as the Surname and a variable number of Forenames, but is there an 'elegant' way via regex to extract this into an array?
