As is usually the case, supplying some real data would have helped clarify your situation, but I found that if I took this made-up data:
<h1>hello</h1> and <h1>there</h1> or <h1>kat75</h1>
I could change it with a Replace-All action into this:
<h1>Hello</h1> and <h1>There</h1> or <h1>Kat75</h1>
with this replacement:
Find-what:
<h1>(.)
Replace-with:<h1>\U\1
Search mode:☑ Regular expression -AND- ☐ . matches newline
The key part here is obviously the \U (indicating what follows should be converted to uppercase) in the Replace-with.

thanks scott
it works fine
great thanks -
More information on these case conversions may be found here in the section on “Boost”.

Hello, @kat75, @scott-sumner and All
And if you want to normalize the text, between the starting and closing tag <h1>, in order to obtain :
-
A first capital letter
-
All the subsequent letters lower-case
Just use the regex, below :
SEARCH
(?-s)(?<=<h1>)(.)(.*?)(?=</h1>)
REPLACE
\u\1\L\2
For instance, the line :
<h1>sMalL</h1> <h1>tESt</h1>
would be replaced, as below :
<h1>Small</h1> <h1>Test</h1>
Remarks :
-
The replacement
\U\1\L\2
could have been used, as well ! In fact, the next global case modifier\L
stops the previous case modifier action. -
Now, let’s suppose the replacement
\u$0
OR\u\1\2
. Then, only the first letter, of the text, would be changed upper-case. Similarly, the\l
form changes the following single character lower-case. -
For an equivalent regex, using the form
\U
, you would have needed the regex\U\1\E\2
, because the syntax\E
, when used in replacement, stops the global case modifiers\L
and\U

Hi, @pouemes44,
I supposed that it does not work because you forgot to escape the dot regex symbol, in the search part, in order that the regex engine looks for a literal dot character !
So, try this S/R, below :
SEARCH
(?-s)\.\x20(.)
REPLACE
.\x20\U\1
Click, either, on the Replace or Replace All button
Notes :
-
You may use, of course, a simple space character, instead of the
\x20
syntax ! -
The
(?-s)
modifier forces the regex engine to consider that the . matches newline option as to be disabled, even it’s checked, in the Find/Replace dialog !
An other form could be used :
SEARCH
(?-s)(?<=\.\x20).
REPLACE
\U$0
Notes :
-
This time, the regex searches a single standard character, ONLY IF it is preceded by a literal dot and a space character ( positive look-behind )
-
In replacement, the whole regex match (
$0
), is just rewritten, in uppercase -
With that second S/R, you must, exclusively, use the Replace All button, although I don’t understand, clearly, the reason why :-))
