GREP to convert first letter of all paragraphs from lowercase to uppercase?

Question

Please don't ask how I inherited this text, but I have a book where every paragraph starts with a lowercase letter.

I was able to convert all of the lowercase letters to uppercase by running ^a to A, then ^b to B, ^c to C, etc. It only took 26 times.

But would there have been a more succinct way to do it in one fell swoop?

Hi together,I hope Foltman is looking into this thread again.His script code was damaged by moving this thread to the new forum. Example: The iterator i is missing inside the for-loop:for(i=0; i < myDoc.allParagraphStyles.length; i++){myParagraphStyles.push(myDoc.allParagraphStyles.name);}; The corrected code for this part is this:for(i=0; i < myDoc.allParagraphStyles.length; i++){myParagraphStyles.push(myDoc.allParagraphStyles[i].name);}; Other corrections should be made as well. Only Foltman could edit this old post from 2017, I think. Regards,Uwe Laubender( ACP )
