I want to make the case of the first letter of all the words in a selected string to upper case. The code
s/\b(\w+)/\u$1\E/g;
enables me to do this for the whole document.
But the string I want to match and operate on is all instances of text following the string
SCTN:
as in
SCTN: News Analysis
or
SCTN: Special Report
But when I try
s/(SCTN:\s*)\b(\w+)/$1\u$2\E/g;
nothing seems to change? : (

My guess (without actually trying) is the word boundary marker (\b). Since you're grabbing all preceding whitespace you can't (in theory) expect it to find whitespace before your word. So... try this:
s/(SCTN:\s*)(\w+)/$1\u$2\E/g;
