Michel -
are the spaces always there between each date element?
if so -
you should be able to parse it with at() and substr()
do you care about the name of the day? if not, you can skip that.
after 'getting it all' you will still need to add time for your zone.

i feel [ug] it could be done in 20 lines or less.
