How to I detect the month of the year only?

Is there a way to capture only the month of the RL year in lsl? I've played with llGetTimestamp, but it seems a rather roundabout way to get just one thing like the month?

Do you need the month as a number, or as a word?

Hi Chaz, just a number. I want to use it as triggers for a set of scrip states ;)

sorry, I should have also asked *which* month. GMT, or SL month? (at the end of each month, GMT month changes a few hours before SL month does -- I forgot to take that into account in my early days.) For instance, tomorrow is July, but calendar pages will flip to July later in SL time than they will in GMT.

If SL time, the script on the page that Hewee provided the link for can easily be moded to return just the month.

Chaz, it actually can be either. I'm using it to create seasons for an idea or two ;) Let me have a crack at Hewee's suggestion as it is one that I missed in my previous search of the wiki :( Thanks Hewee!

CODE

default
{
	touch_start(integer total_number)
	{
		llSay(0,"Month is " + llGetSubString(llGetDate(),5,6));
	}
}


if you need it as an integer

integer Month = (integer)llGetSubString(llGetDate(),5,6);
