Folks, I am looking for a regex expression (preferably with explanation) for taking an expression and creating a camel case (or PascalCase) expression. I get CSV files with headers in them. All too often the eejits that created the databases they came from used embedded spaces or other special use characters (!@#$%^&* etc) in their field names. I need to strip these special characters out completely. I also need to upper case the valid alpha character that follows any of these special characters. John colby becomes JohnColby %idiotic_Field*name becomes IdioticFieldName Etc. It appears that Regex is the key (I am doing this in VB.Net) but until today I have never really tried to use RegEx and it ain't pretty! Any help in this would be much appreciated. John W.
