P.S. I fired up Kodos and cut and pasted your message into the search
string box;
left the bottom notebook on the groups tag to show what groups i had
captured; left the flags al off; then started typing the regular
expression into the regular expression pattern box.
Thats when i realised that your email said hh:mm:ss and I needed to
match something with numbers so appended 08:34:66 as a new ine in the
search string box.
After typing in the regex, the group tab showed what I was after

I like Kodos because it helps me when the RE's are much longer but i
have sample text that I can easily paste in. I usually paste in a
large tet sample just to make sure my RE doesn't fail on something I'm
not expecting.
