Finding lowercase following Opening Quote Mark

Question

I am helping with checking a translation for such things as punctuation, quotations, repeated words, etc. I have noticed that in several places the first word after an opening quote mark is not capitalized, though it should be.
Here is an example: …okubabuzya kuti, "ino kokli… The punctuation sequence of a comma (Unicode Value 002C), a space, the opening quote mark (Unicode Value 201C) is marked as Valid in the Punctuation (Sequences) inventory.
In order to get a list of occurrences of this error I went to Checking inventories>Punctuation followed by lowercase, but did not find this condition listed, as I expected. This particular punctuation sequence was not listed in the Punctuation followed by lowercase letter (Sequences) inventory. I was expecting a list of verses where the lowercase letter was followed by the opening quote mark.
Am I missing something in my settings in Checking inventories? Is there another way to check for this error?
Thank you.

Answer 1

No, the inventory doesn’t show that level of sequence. This is something you can look for with a regular expression. If you type the following in the find window you should see the list you are looking for:

regex:, “\p{Ll}

This says, use Regular Expressions to look for a comma followed by a space and open quote and then a lower case letter. To be more inclusive of other punctuation you could use this:

regex:\p{P} [‘“]\p{Ll}

This says, use Regular expressions to look for any punctuation followed by either single or double quote and then a lowercase letter
