I have a string like this.

"THIS is a very STRANGE string"

I wanted to add span tag with color style around it like below

<span style='color:Blue;'>THIS</span> is a very <span style='color:Blue;'>STRANGE</span> string

i can do this by using split function and check isuppercase and insert.

But is there any reg expression or any other solution so that i can use simply like a one line code. if so help me out.
