Capitalizing the first letter after a colon

[K in KOP]

I'd like to create a cleaner (not sure if that's the right terminology) that will automatically capitalizing the first letter after a colon?

changes this:    Marty: blah blah blah

to this:                Marty: Blah blah blah

thank you

hopefully bumping this to see if there's a solution. Thanks!

Apologies. I must have missed this one.

Create a cleaner and add an action like this:

^ - anchor match to the start of the line (with m option)

(.*?:\s+) - match & capture any characters (.*?) up until the colon (:) followed by one or more whitespace (\s+)

  note: if there are cases of no spaces after the colon, change it to \s*

(\w) - match & capture the next word character

The parens ( ) within the expression capture the parts of the match that you'll use later. In this case, we have two.

In the replacement, we use a transform option to uppercase the next letter ($u)

$1$u$2 - replace with first capture group, indicate the next character is uppercase, then the next capture group
