Thanks Ryan, so the updated version would be: ^\s*-?(\d*\.)?([0-1]?[0-9])|([0-2][0-3]):([0-5])?[0-9]:([0-5])?[0-9](\.[0 -9]{1,7})?\s*$


Title: Hours Is Not Correct

Comment:
the pattern to match the hours is not correct. It will match 27:00:00 which is not valid. Change it to be: [0-1][0-9]|[0-2][0-3]
