Answer 1

Try the following:

function splitString(str){
 return str.substring(0,str.lastIndexOf("T"))+" "+str.substring(str.lastIndexOf("T"));
}
console.log(splitString("ManagerTask"));

• tomatito: you response is fine but i can not use concatenation with eslint. Please can you change the code with template `` instead of concatenation? thank you

You can use Regex to match anything before task and the 'Task' and add space between these to matched groups:

const modify = text => text.replace(/(.+)(Task)/, '1ドル 2ドル');
console.log(modify('ManagerTask'));
console.log(modify('CoordinatorTask'));
console.log(modify('BossTask'));
console.log(modify('EmployTask'));

Also if you needed general solution for this issue you can use:

const modify = text => text
 // Find all capital letters and add space before them
 .replace(/([A-Z])/g, ' 1ドル')
 // Remove the first space - otherwise result would be for example ' OfficeManagerTask'
 .substring(1);
console.log(modify('OfficeManagerTask'));
console.log(modify('AngryBossTask'));
console.log(modify('ManagerTask'));
console.log(modify('CoordinatorTask'));
console.log(modify('BossTask'));
console.log(modify('EmployTask'));

var taskStrs = ['ManagerTask', 'CoordinatorTask', 'BossTask', 'EmployTask', "TaskMakerTask"];
function formatTaskName(task) {
 var lastTaskInd = task.lastIndexOf("Task");
 if(lastTaskInd == -1) {
 return task;
 }
 return task.substring(0,lastTaskInd) + " " + task.substring(lastTaskInd);
}
for(var i = 0; i < taskStrs.length; i++) {
 console.log(formatTaskName(taskStrs[i]));
}
