[ON HOLD] DeCamelCase (partly solved, will update thread later) - OneAngryGamer - 05-04-2023

I have been working on a DeCamelCase function for metadata use. While it is working OK for most test values, I still have some input values that I want it to be able to convert.

I am sharing the function below.

The first block comment contains the list of values that I want the function to be able to convert.

Appreciate any help.

function Convert-DeCamelCase($value) {

RE: Help Needed - DeCamelCase - OneAngryGamer - 05-17-2023

The code had a copy/paste error. Fixed.

Anyone have any suggestions on how to improve this function?

I don't care about fixing acronyms. For input 'ChekhovMIA', I would want the function to return 'Chekhov MIA'. 'Heroic BSOD' returned from input 'HeroicBSOD' and so on.
