Regex for case sensitive alphabets

I saw this question and tried it myself too. The correct answer is option D and it actually works, but I am not able to understand why it works. The names for input into Regex are in uppercase and I have read that [a-z] is for lowercase alphabets. Could anyone please explain me why the below is working?

 

Thanks

Hi @GJNom 

 

It works because Regex tool by default is configured be case insensitive. Hence upper case and lower case are treated as same.

Case sensitivity is also a flag for a regex that you can turn on or off irrespective of the Alteryx checkbox - I think it may be /i

Regex101.com is a great resource to play with Regex if you're struggling a little - it's saved my sanity many times!
