Try to Split Words Based on Naming Convention

This function attempts to split characters into its component words (and by default, all in lowercase) based on camelCase, PascalCase, or snake_case conventions. If the string doesn't match any of these conventions, it returns all groups of letters.

Usage

trySplitWords(..., conseq = TRUE, strictSnake = FALSE, uncase = TRUE)

Arguments

...

character(s) to be split, treated as a single vector after unlisting.

conseq

A logical indicating whether the conseq argument in splitCamel()/splitPascal() should be TRUE or FALSE.

strictSnake

A logical indicating the strict argument in isSnakeCase().

uncase

A logical indicating whether to remove all casing in the output to lowercase.

Value

A list of character vectors, each containing the parts of the string split into individual words.
