Use the regex:

"[a-z]+[A-Z]+"

(a-z)+ matches literal a-z one or more times and (//W) matches literal //W one time.

Square brackets are used for character ranges, not parentheses.

And if you meant \\W, this is equivalent to [^\\w], meaning "not word characters". It will be matching stuff like punctuation and spaces.
