Parsing time strings in HH:MM format

Hi,

What's the correct way to tell a StreamTokenizer to treat a time string in hh:mm format as an ordinary word?

This is parsing the string "15:50" as ":50" using a default StreamTokenizer object.tokenizer.wordChars('\u0030','\u0039');

tokenizer.wordChars(':',':');

Cheers!
