Hello Khushbu,

If time comes always in 5th field then you can try following.
Code:
awk '{print $5}' Input_file

If time's field is not set then you could try following.
Code:
awk --re-interval '{match($0,/[0-9]{2}:[0-9]{2}/);print substr($0,RSTART,RLENGTH)}' Input_file

Hope this helps.

Thanks,
R. Singh
