--Take the free-form setup_time field and convert it to a single numeric value

--Prepend "9999" to the string in case they didn't enter any digits
--This will make it easy to identify games with no digits in the setup_time field
--Appending "zzz" to the end to prevent errors when looking past a digit at the end

--Find the last set of numeric digits in the string
for w in string.gmatch(str, "%d+") do

--Find the position of the digits we found above

--Get all of the text after the digits we found
text = string.sub(str, b+1, -1);
--Get the first 3 letters in the text above
units = string.sub(text, string.find(text, "%a%a%a"))
--Check if they likely entered seconds instead of minutes
if string.lower(units) == 'sec' then
--Divide the seconds by 60 and round up
num = math.ceil(num/60)
end
--Return the number of minutes without anything else
