check segments after colon start with lower case letter (regex)

Question

Hi all, 
 I have several large documents and as the title says I need to make sure the segment after a colon (:) starts with a lower case letter. 
 Like this: 
 [segment 1] Note: 
 [segment 2] tomatoes are green. 
 Is there a way to just select the segments that follow the colon? Regex? 
 Different segmentation is not an option (because of the way the TM is structured). 
 Thank you very much in advance.

 Jes&uacute;s is correct, but perhaps a simple workaround would suit your needs. I don't know how many there are but you could filter on the segments ending with a colon, tag them with a different status temporarily (signed off for example), or even colour the segments using the highlighting tools so it stands out more easily. Then scroll through the document, and manually check the ones you need. That isn't ideal, but it might make it easier to find them.

I assume the heart of the issue is the format is incorrect in the source file?
What is the native source file?

So what you have in source is:
Note: Tomatoes are green.

But what you need is:
Note: tomatoes are green.

I wonder if its easier to address this in native source document before bringing into Studio.
Paul does something come to mind for this?

If that is not, then yes I agree with Jesús Prieto we could think about creating an app that does a verification based on context or check the Xliff itself.
