Ok, there was more left over so I might as well just send the entire

#!/bin/sh

exec tclsh "$0" ${1+"$@"}
while {[gets stdin line] >= 0} {
set j 0
while {[regexp -indices -start $j {(?x) \d+:\d+(?::\d+)?} $line match]} {

set s [split [string range $line $i $j] :]
set y [llength $s]
set z 0
for {set x 0} {$x < $y} {incr x} {
set z [expr $z * 60 + [scan [lindex $s $x] "%d"]]
}
set line [string replace $line $i $j $z]
incr j [expr [string length $z] + $i - $j + 1]
}
puts stdout $line
}
