const date = new Date().toLocaleString(#time);

This will give time in different locale in every country, if the country uses time in format 10.30 AM or 10:30 AM or 10-30 AM and what not, so

const regex = /(\d+):(\d+):(\d+) ?(.*)?/;

this won't work in every country, as it didn't in mine, because my time locale was with a . as separator and not :

In Sciter Date.toString will give RFC-822 string representation of date object which will be same in all Locale. Which can be formatted using strftime specifiers which can be used to take care of all the padding and locale. Short and sweet also reduces the load of every second computation.
