Datetime conversion

This script converts datetimes (for example, from channel histories) into the corresponding date and time from the in-game calendar:

Trigger:

(\d+) (\w+) (\d+) (\d+):(\d+)

Script:

inyear = matches[2]
inmonnm = matches[3]
inday = matches[4]
inhr = matches[5]-3 -- This includes a manual offset for the difference between the system time in EST and my local time in PST.
inmin = matches[6]
if inmonnm == "Jan" then inmon = 1 end
if inmonnm == "Feb" then inmon = 2 end
if inmonnm == "Mar" then inmon = 3 end
if inmonnm == "Apr" then inmon = 4 end
if inmonnm == "May" then inmon = 5 end
if inmonnm == "Jun" then inmon = 6 end
if inmonnm == "Jul" then inmon = 7 end
if inmonnm == "Aug" then inmon = 8 end
if inmonnm == "Sep" then inmon = 9 end
if inmonnm == "Oct" then inmon = 10 end
if inmonnm == "Nov" then inmon = 11 end
if inmonnm == "Dec" then inmon = 12 end
