RegExReplace in AutoHotkeyGroup of coworkers seated around a table in a bright office, talking together with a green reusable water bottle in front of themIn this tutorial I use RegExReplace in AutoHotkey to move the days to the beginning of the date format and months to the middle.  While it is pretty straight-forward, I managed to forget to add something to my script which forced me to trouble-shoot.  I talked through a bit of the process of how I typically will work on a Regular Expression.
