blank space in String won't die!

[MetalR0]

I need to convert a string of time to an int. In other words "4:30PM" must become 430.
I have used the replaceAll() String method to get replace the colon and letters with " ". However I keep getting a NumberFormatException. I assume because of the space left, the string at this point is "04 30". I have tried the trim() String method but it doesn't work! Next I tried a stringBuffer and the deleteCharAt() method but when I print my Course object (using a toString method) it still has the dang space!!! Any suggestions?

public static Course fromAString(String x) {
		Course temp = new Course();
		StringTokenizer cl = new StringTokenizer(x);
		temp.setName(cl.nextToken());
		temp.setSection(cl.nextToken());
		String startT = cl.nextToken();
		
		startT = startT.replaceAll(":"," ");
		startT = startT.replaceAll("AM","");
		startT = startT.replaceAll("PM","");
		StringBuffer deletespace = new StringBuffer(startT);
		deletespace.deleteCharAt(2);
		startT = "" + deletespace;
		startT.trim();
		int starter = Integer.parseInt(startT);
		temp.setStartTime(starter);
		String endT = cl.nextToken();
		endT = endT.replaceAll(":"," ");
		endT = startT.replaceAll("AM","");
		endT = startT.replaceAll("PM","");
		endT.trim();
		int ender = Integer.parseInt(endT);
		temp.setStartTime(ender);
		temp.setDays(cl.nextToken()); 
		String n = temp.getName();
		String sect = temp.getSection();
		int et = temp.getEndTime();
		int st = temp.getStartTime();
		String d = temp.getDays();
		
		String whole = n + " " + sect + " " + st + " " + et + " " + d;
		return temp;				
		
	}

Why are you replacing the colon with a space? Why don't you replace it with an empty String like you do AM and PM?

Because I can't see the forest for the trees. Thanks for pointing out the oversight. No problem now!
