Title Test Find Validate 12hour clock
Expression
(?<Time>^(?:0?[1-9]:[0-5]|1(?=[012])\d:[0-5])\d(?:[ap]m)?)

Title: This matches HH:MM

If you have HH:MM:SS it will only match the HH:MM. This was not made to capture the seconds. Only to catch entries with 16:03 or 4:59pm. 4:59 will return a match but as I said it is validating HH:MM so if you had 45:59 will not match since it's obviously MM:SS.
