Small Caps with GREP

Participant ,
Jan 19, 2017 Jan 19, 2017

I'm trying to convert all Abbreviations to small caps however the typeface I'm using has a separate style for small caps, I can convert all the abbreviations to small caps using GREP but they then need to be converted to lowercase. I'm attempting to do this using Text Wrangler by changing them all to a specific character style and then convert to lowercase within Text Wrangler by finding and replacing but I'm not having much luck. Is there a simpler way?

Oops. Meant to include this one for case:

It would need to be modified.

Does the font you are using have the OpenType All Small Caps available (Basic Character Formats)? If so, make that part of the character style and use the GREP as you are doing. Then there is no need to changing the case.

Haha unfortunately not, instead of having the opentype all small caps option, it has an entirely different font style called "Small Caps and OSF"

Does this free script help?
