Normalizing Phone Numbers, Easier with Regex

The article details the author's personal experience overcoming a fear of regular expressions (Regex). It walks through a practical use case: normalizing New Zealand cellphone numbers in Active Directory from a local format (e.g., 0271112222) to an international standard (+64 27 111 2222). The post explains the thought process, the tools used (like RegExr), and breaks down the Regex pattern construction, serving as a tutorial on applying Regex to a real-world IT data formatting task.
