Is there a way to have a GREP-style only apply to lowercase letters?

I first made a charachter style that specified the OpenType set that should be used, than I made a GREP that defines which letters it should apply to. But what I later realised is that it also applies to capital letters. Is there a way to have this only applied to the lowercase letters?

Hope my question is clear, help would be greatly appreciated!

\l (that's backslash + lower-case L) matches lower case.

Peter is right on target with his advice. Just to add to his recommendation, you can also find this by clicking on the @ symbol in the GREP dialog or GREP Styles dialog and choose Wildcards > Any Lowercase Character.

Come to find out it didn't work as perfect as I first thought. This is how I defined it: a|e|t\l

This way it works for the 'a' and the 'e'. Just not for the 't'. What am I doing wrong? I'm guessing I should seperate the letters from \l somehow. But since I'm new to GREP-styles I've no clue how.
Hope you can help. Thank you!
