thanks but i tried that ("h\:mm"). i've never been able to get regex working
fully for me.

well i want to replace the literal string "h:mm" with another value. i'm
building an i18n js "clock" for non-gregorian calendars, so i have to handle
dates/date manipulations myself--this includes localizing digits for
display. what i'm doing is parsing out date/time patterns (eg, EEEE, MMMM d
yyyy) from each calendar for a given locale & replacing these with localized
datetime bits. it all works except for the h:mm bit.

oh i dislike regex ;-)

thanks.
