Except that if a full regex is used, the pattern can be matched or
denied and pull out the important information simultaneously. Here's a
simple regex that would work:
(\d{1,2}):(\d{1,2}):(\d{1,2})
but here's one that works only for the 12 hour clock:
((1[012])|(0?\d)):([0-5]?\d):([0-5]?\d)
and one for the 24 hour clock:
((2[0-4])|([01]?\d)):([0-5]?\d):([0-5]?\d)
I hope this helps
