How Do I Replace Text with Number using RegEx?

[JMichaelTX]

@nrgiser

Please leave the title since I'm looking for a regex solution.
The month name to month number is just an example. It could also be
potatoes -> 1
vegetables -> 2

My apologies for revising the Topic Title with incorrect text. Your OP seemed to indicate you were trying to replace month name, but now with you last post I see you are simply look to replace any arbitrary text with a number.

So, I have revised the Topic Title again. Feel free to change if this does not accurately reflect your request.

Now that you have clarified your objective, I can provide a better solution. I have moved my prior post to a new topic. I'll post back soon with another solution.
