+# ClipboardRegex
+A Windows utility to apply Regex replaces to strings copied onto the clipboard
+
+This utility lets you do two-input field regex-replacement on every string copied to the clipboard a-la-notepad++.
+
+Instead of operating on a document however, it runs the replacement on the contents of the clipboard whenever you copy (or cut) something.
+
+The intent of this is to make the mindless task of copying strings from one source to another with small repetitive adjustmensts somewhat less awful.
