I need to add an action to start with upper case after any of the symbols below.

```
. (dot)

(
[

```

I found this regular expression to start with upper case after "Mc", but I don't know how to make this work with the symbols above.

```
Field: _TAG
Regular expression: \bMc(\l)
Change to: Mc$upper($1)
```

Try this [RegExp Help](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/13696/4)

**It does it after the symbols:**

**(**

[  
"  
'

 **So by changing a few thing around to suit you:**** Action #1 **_Actiontype 4:_** Replace with regular expression **_Field \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_:_** \_TAG **_Regular expression \_:_** (\B|^)(-|\(|\[|\.)(.) **_Replace matches with:_** $1$2$upper($3)**
