How it works
A line with AM or PM is converted to 24-hour time. Anything else is read as 24-hour time.
24-hour times can be written as 1430, 930, 14:30 or 14:30:15, with an optional "hours" at the end.
0000 is midnight at the start of the day and 2400 is accepted as midnight at the end of the day.
Hours above 24 and minutes or seconds above 59 are rejected. Up to 200 lines are allowed.
