Running

This tool expects two arguments:

1. A target aspect ratio desired for all instances, represented as a single floating point number, the result of width/height.
2. A regular expression parsed by the std::regex engine. The expression should be placed in quotation marks to match against window titles that should be arranged.

Usage: ArrangeInstances.exe <instanceRatio (width/height)> <ProcessRegEx>
