Default extract time from text import

When I import a text selection, the date format gets changed from 1316:10 to
1316:10:00. It looks like Excel is trying to interpret the time format to a
date and time format.
I've tried using the LEFT function to extract only the 1316, but excel has
already converted the time to its time and date format. A watch is added to
the VBA code to see how excel is intrepretting it. 1316:10 gets converted to
165 or 2/23/1900 8:10:00 PM.
The question is, how do I extract only the hh:mm or hh:mm:ss?

Thanks in advance,
Pete
