Answer 1

You can use this regex:

List<String> interviewTimingToFrom1 = Arrays.asList(
                    interviewTime1.split("\\s*,\\s*|(?<=[ap]m)(?=\\d)"));

Split using:

\s*,\s*          # comma surrounded by optional spaces on either sides
|                # regex alternation
(?<=[ap]m)(?=\d) # when preceding text is am or pm and following character is a digit
