Need help with a search and replace
I have a bunch of tags that are in heriarchal form

genre.romance

I want to turn them into title cased

Genre.Romance

I have tried to search the "." and replace with a space, then capitalize the results, but when I try to replace the spaces with periods, I end up with a bunch of tags with periods in spaces that should just be spaces.

Is there a kind of regular expression that can just capitalize the first letter following a period? I can title case the rest.

I title case all my tags, so I just right click in the Tags area of the MDE when I find a book with case issues and Title case. and select the case I wish
AFAIK that works on HIERARCHICAL tags

This works for me. It uppercases the first letter and any letter after a period.

Thanks! I was able to copy the code and it worked fine! I was looking for that specific code
