Lua Task 7 - Date formatting

You should have completed Lua Tasks 1-6 before considering this task.

This task requires a lot of research and independent learning and is considerably more difficult than the introductory six tasks. It is not suitable for beginners to programming, although students new to Lua with previous experience in other programming languages should be able to produce acceptable work.

This task requires you to create a function to extract a date from a piece of text and format it according to some rules.

Read through and then carry out the instructions at: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:RexxS/GCI-Task07

You will have created a new module sandbox and a new user sandbox, something like:

When you have finished to your satisfaction, please leave a comment here when you submit your work, and give the urls of your new module sandbox and your new user sandbox.
