       if(/^([A-Z]+)\s*/)

The final \s* is meaningless here; it will always be true.

Also, based on the data set, he may want to use whitespace in his hash keys. How about this?

if (/^([A-Z][A-Z\s]*)/)
[download]

I decided to make sure that the first character is uppercase, but allow whitespace after that.
