Regex for time in hh:mm am/pm format

Question

I need to make strict validation of input for a school project, time in format HH:MM am/pm. So far i\'ve got this RegEx expression:

(([01]?[0-9]):([0-5][0-9         


        

Answer 1

you can use:

\b((1[0-2]|0?[1-9]):([0-5][0-9]) ([AaPp][Mm]))
EDIT:         ^ changed this from 0-1 to not accept 00:00
