it might work better
<p class="body"

Code:
<p class=”body”>([a-z])
Code:
<p class=”body”>\U\1\E

It has been pointed out that this only works with a PCRE based S&R (Sigil)

PS you should use straight quotes in tags

Then the Sigil regex needs to be removed.

There are several Regex-functions to change the case of matched text. This is one of the modes for searching. "Capitalize text (ignore tags)" should do it.

Actually, I hit something similar to what you want last night. The case I had looked like:
Code:
<p>Fred said, "this is some dialog
That was scattered through the book with different names. From memory, the search I used was:

Code:
<p>\w+ said, ("[[:lower:]])
Then I used one of the case changing functions, I think it was the "Capitalize text (ignore tags)". What it did is to capitalize what was in the matching group and leave the rest unchanged.

I think that's what I did. I'm at work and can't look back through the search history to be sure. Or test it.
