regex uppercase replacement not working on atom

Question

I want to target lowercases after a . and convert it to uppercase. It seems like Atom is not understanding /U /E ? This is what I have

(\. \n{0,})([a-z])

and replace with

$1\U$2\E

Input: level. the mu-law is Output: level. \Ut\Ehe mu-law is Expected: level. The mu-law is I have regex enabled and case match enabled. Is this an atom issue?

Just Atom regex engine does not support case changing operators. If you need this feature use Notepad++. — Wiktor Stribiżew, Feb 06 '20 at 18:34

So as Wiktor says, atom doesnt support \U \L... work around as stated in another regex atom thread

use:

(\. \n{0,})([a-z])

hit find all and mannual click:

Edit --> Text --> Upper

--and if all of them dont turn upper, mess around with replace, undo, the blinking cursor should be on all the texts, now do the manual clicks

I believe that's the first time I saw an answer with negative votes and marked as correct. It made me think... – Almir Campos Feb 24 '22 at 23:25
