try: "([0-9]{2}:[0-9]{2} (AM|PM)(\.|\s|$))"

the "\." will match a period in case AM or PM is at the end of a sentance. You need the "\" because "." alone just matches any single character.

or

the \s will match a white space after AM or PM,

or

the $ will match end of line.. in the case that there is no white space after AM or PM.
