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.

That worked perfectly. First I added it to each individual letter (a, e & t), which didn't work properly. Than I tried adding it at the end of the sequence of the letters which worked perfect. Thank you!
