It is unclear what you are doing wrong. In principle, -substr()- is
enough.
In addition to other excellent suggestions, note that -split- is
customised for this kind of task. See the help for relevant examples.

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.
