An input variable takes both double and string?

I'm making a timezone converting program. Sample outputs are here:

$ echo "noon HST EET" | ./a.out
midnight
$ echo "11:29 a.m. EST GMT" | ./a.out
4:29 p.m.

when user inputs "noon", my program won't work. Below is my code for inputs:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
13
14
15
16
17
18
19
20
21
22
 
#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
using namespace std;

int main()

{

    string current_timezone;
    string desire_timezone;
    int currentHour, currentMin;
    char sym;
    int utc_time = 0;
    int converted_time = 0;

    //am pm
    char ap1;
    char pt1;
    char ap2;
    char pt2;

    cin >> currentHour >> sym >> currentMin >> ap1 >> pt1 >> ap2 >> pt2 >> current_timezone >> desire_timezone;}


how can I deal with this situation? please ask me anything for clarifications.

Read the input into a string and parse the string (checking for all valid forms).
The regular expression library may be handy.
