$3
Returns either:
* a string in the format of h:mm A where h is hour, mm is 2 digit minute and 'A' is AM or PM.
* null if format cannot be determined from messyTime
* 'h:mm A' format allows easy entry in Date object. Example:
`
new Date('01/01/2017' + ' ' + ft.getFormattedTime(950));
// returns Date object set to Jan 01 2017 09:50:00
`
#### messyTime
* string, required
* the value that is to be converted into a reliable formatted time
* eg; 9:35, 10a, 11:32p, etc
#### ampmSwitch
* string, optional, default: 6:59
* the time at which PM switches to AM if am/pm is not included in messyString
Example:
`
// default switches at 7:00
ft.getFormattedTime('6:59'); // 6:59 PM
ft.getFormattedTime('7:00'); // 7:00 AM
ft.getFormattedTime('6:59','7:59'); // 6:59 PM
ft.getFormattedTime('7:00','7:59'); // 7:00 PM
ft.getFormattedTime('7:59','7:59'); // 7:59 PM

`

ft.re.exec('12:32a')[2] // '32'
ft.re.exec('12:32a')[3] // 'a'
ft.re.exec('935')[1] // '9'
