String or Number to a time format

I have the following stored in an array called timearray thats been imported form a csv file

22:30:26:718

The format is hh:mm:ss:sss With the last three 's' being milliseconds ... I want to convert to time format and tried this

date=datetime(timearray,'InputFormat', 'HH:MM:SS:SSS')

I get this error

Error using datetime (line 616)
Fractional seconds must be contiguous in a datetime format character vector.

Error in NoLensAnalysis (line 587)
date=datetime(raw_edited1,'InputFormat', 'HH:MM:SS:SSS')

I know this is simple to you but can you share your knowledge please?

[Walter Roberson]

date = datetime(timearray, 'InputFormat', 'HH:mm:ss:SSS');

but you probably want to proceed to

tod = timeofday(date);
tod.Format = 'HH:mm:ss.SSS';
