inputting time in separate compilation
Ok, for my program, we have to do separate compilation of 3 files: main.cpp, time.h, and time.cpp. We can only modify the time.cpp file. The part (well, actually the first part so far) that i'm having trouble with is when the user inputs the time.
This is the format that the user inputs the time in: [hour][colon][minute][optional whitespace][indicator only the first letter 'a' or 'p' is important] I've tried a few ways to get this to input, but i can figure it out. I think if someone can help me out with that, I can pretty much do the rest of the program very easily. I've posted everything, but I don't think that it is neccessary..just the last file. thanks

// there are minutes between t1 and t2 when they are considered
// as belonging to the same day; the difference in minutes is taken
// absolutely and is always considered >= 0 regardless of whether
// t1 is earlier in the day than t2 or not
void timePrint(Time t);
// pre: t is a valid Time
// post: the given time is printed to cout in the style of "7:03 AM"
// (without quotes); the final indicator is taken from "midnight",
// "AM", "noon", and "PM" (without quotes) as appropriate
bool timeRead(Time *t);
// pre: t is a valid pointer to a not-necessarily-valid Time
// post: an attempt is made to read a time from cin; if successful,
// the Time pointed to by t reflects what was read and true
// is returned; on failure, false is returned and t has been
// set to midnight; the valid input format for a time is exactly
//
// [HOUR][COLON][MINUTE][OPTIONAL-WHITESPACE][INDICATOR]
//
// where [HOUR] is either exactly one or exactly two decimal digits
// giving an integer in 1..12, [COLON] is an explicit ':' (without
// the single quotes), [MINUTE] is exactly two decimal digits giving
// an integer in 0..59, [OPTIONAL-WHITESPACE] is any sequence of zero
// or more whitespace characters, and [INDICATOR] is any non-empty
// string without whitespace of which only the first character matters:
// 'A' or 'a' indicates AM (or midnight for 12:00), 'P' or 'p' indicates
// PM (or noon in the case of 12:00), 'N' or 'n' means noon (but this
// is only allowed for 12:00), and 'M' or 'm' means midnight (only
// allowed for 12:00); whitespace separates a time from any item
// immediately before and/or after it; remark: times output by
// timePrint() are suitable for reading back in with timeRead()
//
// Valid examples: 3:00a 1:03pm 09:59ante
