## Description

TryStrToTime tries to convert the string S to a TDateTime time value, and stores the result in Value. The time must consist of 1 to 4 digits, separated by the TimeSeparator character. If two numbers are given, they are supposed to form the hour and minutes.

The function returns True if the string contained a valid time indication, False otherwise.
