Does Unity have a "Nice Name" method?

Question

Hi guys

If I write a script that looks like:

 public class Test : MonoBehaviour
 {
     public int someTestValue = 0;
 
     [SerializeField] private int m_SomeOtherTestValue = 1;
 }

The inspector shows those fields like:

alt text

Does anyone know how this string manipulation is done? I'm sure I could bash something together with StringBuilder and some regex, but I'm wondering if the Unity API already has a method that takes a string and outputs a nice name.

Thanks, Ves

The logic is contained in the ObjectNames class (documentation: https://docs.unity3d.com/Documentation/ScriptReference/ObjectNames.html)

Specifically, check out the NicefyVariableName method:

 // Outputs the text: Some Variable Name
 Debug.Log (ObjectNames.NicifyVariableName("someVariableName"));
