How to extract time from string in python using pattern matching?
Question
An example of the python string is '8:30 AM- 10:00 PM Subject: Math' . In general, the string contains a start time, end time, and the subject I want to separate this string into 3 components: the start time, end time, and subject. For example 8:30 AM , 10:00 PM , and Subject: Math .
How can I do this using regex in python?

You can use re.split() using a positive lookbehind to AM or PM having an optional - and a space character as a delimiter:
>>> import re
>>>
>>> s = "8:30 AM- 10:00 PM Subject: Math"
>>> re.split(r"(?<=AM|PM)-?\s", s)
['8:30 AM', '10:00 PM', 'Subject: Math']
