Hello,
I was wondering if someone could provide me with the pattern syntax to
find the time in a given string. The time usually appears as "14:28:32"
(for example) within a string ("Sun Jan 23 14:28:32 1965"). How can I
retrieve the time?
The built-in datetime module can parse this type of string:
(http://docs.python.org/library/datetime.html#strftime-and-strptime-behavior)
PythonWin 2.6.5 (r265:79096, Mar 19 2010, 21:48:26) [MSC v.1500 32 bit
(Intel)] on win32.

s = "Sun Jan 23 14:28:32 1965"
from datetime import datetime
d=datetime.strptime(s,'%a %b %d %H:%M:%S %Y')
d.hour
14
d.minute
28
d.second
32
d.time()
datetime.time(14, 28, 32)
d.date()
datetime.date(1965, 1, 23)
d.ctime()
'Sat Jan 23 14:28:32 1965'
It also knows that date was really a Saturday :^)
