public static string ToUnderscoreCase(this string str) =>
string.Concat(str.Select((x, i) => (i > 0 && char.IsUpper(x) && (char.IsLower(str[i - 1]) || char.IsLower(str[i + 1])))
? "_" + x.ToString() : x.ToString())).ToLower();
This causes an exception with "abcDeFG".
Here the corrected method:
static string ToUnderscoreCase(this string str) =>
string.Concat(
str.Select((x, i) =>
i > 0 && char.IsUpper(x) && (char.IsLower(str[i - 1]) || i < str.Length - 1 && char.IsLower(str[i + 1]))
? "_" + x
: x.ToString())).ToLowerInvariant();
Easy on eyes solution with custom separator:
public static string ToLowerBySep(this string source, char sep)
{
var result = new List<char>();
var chars = source.Replace(" ", "").ToCharArray();
for (var i = 0; i < chars.Length; i++)
{
if (i != 0 && char.IsUpper(chars[i]))
{
result.Add(sep);
}
result.Add(chars[i]);
}
return string.Concat(result).ToLowerInvariant();
