RegEx for upper case in first word of segment

Question

Hello, I need to start all segments with upper case. Just the first word of each segment. Is there a regular expression one can use? Thanks in advance!

If you need to filter the segments that start with a small case letter, and show the ones that don't match your requirement, this regex can help you do that: 
 (?-i)^[a-z] 
 If you need something else, you'll need to clarify your need.

Hi Olaf Tonn , 
 I got your private message after you couldn't reply my post. 
 I'm afraid you can't find and replace the case in Studio, because as far as I know, .Net (the regex engine behind Studio), won't allow you to replace the case (other regex engines, like PERL, can handle case conversions). Maybe a regex guru like Anthony Rudd can confirm or not this point. 
 Anyway, I couldn't make this simple regex ^[a-z] work in my Studio 2019 (it matches the 2nd, 3rd&hellip; lower case characters as well), so you won't be able to even find the lower case characters at the start of the segment: 
 
 I guess this is wrong, ? 
 So I'm afraid, filtering is the way to go.
