# Ignoring case in regexes in JavaScript

The `i` modifier can be used to ignore case sensitivity. Let's see how it's done.

## Example

In the following example, the regex will only find small letters:

`let str = 'aaa bbb CCC DDD'; let res = str.replace(/[a-z]+/g, '!');`

As a result, the following will be written to the variable:

`'! ! CCC DDD'`

## Example

And now add the `i` modifier and the regex will start looking for characters in all registers:

`let str = 'aaa AAA bbb BBB'; let res = str.replace(/[a-z]+/ig, '!');`

As a result, the following will be written to the variable:

`'! ! ! !'`

## Practical tasks

Simplify your code by using the learned modifier:

`let res = str.replace(/[a-zA-Z]/g, '!');`
