A javascript function for turning a space (or punctuation) - delimited string into a camel case String.

gistfile1.js

// There's probably a more concise solution, but I prefer clarity over conciseness
// Splits on any number of non-word characters.
// Apostrophes don't cause case-change.
function toCamelCase(str) {
	if (str==null || str==undefined || str.length==0) return str;
	str = str.replace(/'/g, "");
	var arr = str.split(/[^\w]+/g); // split on any sequence of one or more 
	                                // non-word chars.
	var ret = "";
	// Look for the first non-zero-length String.
	for (var i=0;i<arr.length;i++) {
		if (arr[i].length>0) {
			ret += arr[i++];
			break;
		}
	}
	// Concatenate all subsequent non-zero-length String, after uppercasing
	// the first letter.
	for (;i<arr.length;i++) {
		if (arr[i].length>0) {
			ret += arr[i].substr(0, 1).toUpperCase();
		}
		if (arr[i].length>1) {
			ret += arr[i].substr(1);
		}
	}
	return ret;
}


toCamelCase("   a better place    hooray!") == "aBetterPlaceHooray";
toCamelCase("Here's A string to turn into Camel-case") == "HeresAStringToTurnIntoCamelCase";
toCamelCase("In Denmark, for instance") == "InDenmarkForInstance";
