How to get a user to input a time?

Hello

I'm looking to prompt the user to input a time in HH:MM. I then need to check to see if it is a valid time of day. The user needs to input four separate times for the day. Any ideas on how I can start or perhaps any functions you can recommend?

t1 = input('Enter first time in HH:MM', 's');

Now you can do the checking on the string that is in t1.

But what if the user misreads it completely, and writes "One o'clock, or 13:00, or 1pm or 3:00am", how can I make sure there are strict parameters that need to be followed? Is there a more efficient way perhaps?

Thanks for your reply.
