I am trying to read a line like this in my python script. But, I keep getting format type error. My line is like that:

Tue 16 Jul 2024 12:29:54 PM EDT Simulator: Initializing surfels [22% complete [42511 of 193231]]

This is just one file, i have multiple line like that. I want to read the date and time, in the line consisting “Simulator” and take the time difference between to see how much time spent in Simulator. As I said, I am having difficulty to read the time accurately. So , need your help and I am beginner in python.

Thank you.

I tried different types of format, but so far did not work.
