    I need to set up a regex to convert a text string (actually a word) to all
    lowercase.

    The application in which I need to use the regex supposedly supports POSIX.
    (The application is a link resolver, specifically, Innovative's WebBridge).

    Regexes need to be in the form /string to match/replacement string/

    I'm able to replace single characters at a time, e.g. /M/m/ to convert
    uppercase M to m. And I can even figure out a way to do what I want using a
    long string such as /A/a/g_/B/b/g_/C/c/g etc - except that the application
    will accept only a maximum of 12 expressions, way short of the 26 I'd need
    for my purposes.

    I've tried fiddling around with \L but the application insists on
    recognizing this only as a text string.

    Can anybody suggest anything else to try??

    TIA

    Bernie
