RegExp to capitalize all words in filename, without modifying existing camelCase or HumpCase words

Help & Support
1

Can anyone please help me out with an RegExp rename example to capitalize all the words in a filename, but without modifying existing camelCase or HumpCase words?

this is partOne and this is PartTwo.ext -->
This Is partOne And This Is PartTwo.ext

Google's Bard tells me this should work:

Rename WHENEXISTS=rename PATTERN="/a-z(?=[a-z])/g" TO="\1" REGEXP IGNOREEXT NOMATCHNOFAIL

but it doesn't. I've been trying to work it out using Bard's example as a starting point, but I'm in over my head.

Thank you for reading and for any help you may be able to provide, cheers!

Opus' regex dialect doesn't support capitalization. But a rename script is not too difficult.

function OnGetNewName(getNewNameData) {
    var allWords = getNewNameData.newname.split(' ');
    for (var i = 0; i < allWords.length; i++) {
        if (allWords[i].substring(1).match(/.*[A-Z].*/)) continue;
        allWords[i] = allWords[i].substring(0, 1).toUpperCase() + allWords[i].substring(1);
    }
    return allWords.join(' ');
}
