I am sure there is an easier way to achieve this...

*******
clear*
input str24 var1
"Sep/09/1998 08:42:00 PM"
end
g var2=word(var1,-1)
g var3=word(var1,2)
g var4=clock(var3, "hms")
g var5=hh(var4)
g var6=string(var5)+" "+ var2
drop var2-var5
l
*******

Subject: st: Extracting Time from Excel Sheet


I want to extract the time from v1
Sep/09/1998 08:42:00 PM
where v1 is
str24  %24s
However, all I can extract is
08:42:00 PM
when using substr.
I would like to extract the hours (eg 8) and PM or AM.
Any suggestions?
