Not the most elegant solution but I am not very skilled in parsing :) Interesting challenge though!

After some trial and error, got it much simplified. Good one!

I can never get enough practice on date conversion.  So useful!

I didn't think about doing this all in one regex tool - that is much cleaner than the four separate tools I used.

Just recently learnt how to RegEx, good challenge to practise my new skill with!

obviously this was done a while ago but after completing this then looking at the solution, I'd like to believe that the way I did it here might be a little bit easier as its doesn't require as complex regex and parsing out as much but more of using some of the newer tools since this was posted. A very important exercise in parsing none-the-less :)
