this time will convert “8pm” or “8 pm” or “8:00pm” or “8:00 pm” or “8p” or “8 p” or “8:00p” or “8:00 p” or "8" or "815" to military time.
The problem I'm having is if you enter 1AM it will change it to 1:00 not 01:00. Could someone please help? I know it's messy and ugly code, but really pulling out my hair at this point
form1.Page1.ShiftStartTime::change - (JavaScript, client)
if (xfa.event.change.match(/[0-9\p\P\a\A\m\M\:]/) == null)

Read this series of articles: http://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/2006/date_time_part1Since the script is accepting a variety of time formats, it should use regular expressions to determine which format was entered and then use the corresponding time parsing.
For formatting use the "util.printf()" function.
