The numbers represent the hour, minute, and (optionally) second correspondingly. If the time is followed by AM or PM, it is assumed to be in 12-hour clock format. If no AM or PM indicator is included, the time is assumed to be in 24-hour clock format.

If Str does not contain a valid time, StrToTime raises an exception.
