Regex search to flip date format


You can run a Regex search that will flip the format of dates from the mm/dd/yyyy format to the yyyy/mm/dd format.

So if we go into the well-beloved text editor, NotePad++ and enter Find and Replace we just need to find:

([0-9]+)/+([0-9]+)/+([0-9]+)

. . . and Replace it with:

\3/\1/\2

. . . and the result is:

Voila! Hope this last tip of 2016 is a lot of help to one and all. Happy New Year!!
