Working with strange time & date values (Convert 20190325 into 2019:03:25)

[x213217]

Hello,
I need help with working with some odd styles of time and date values that i am trying to format

TransferStartTime = 000036
This means at the 00 hr 00 min 36 second

TransferStartDate = 20190325
This means at 2019 year 03 month 25 day

So in essence it is basically one clumped value for each time and the date
Since this is not epoch,
how can i separate the StartTime to display as 00:00:36 and the TransferStartDate as 2019:03:25 ? So it is a lot more clear

Try like

| makeresults 
| eval TransferStartTime ="000036" 
| rex field=TransferStartTime "(?P<Hr>\d\d)(?P<Min>\d\d)(?P<Sec>\d\d)" 
| eval TransferStartTime = Hr.":".Min.":".Sec 
| eval TransferStartDate ="20190325" 
| rex field=TransferStartDate "(?P<year>\d\d\d\d)(?P<Mon>\d\d)(?P<day>\d\d)" 
| eval TransferStartDate= year.":".Mon.":".day 
| table TransferStartTime TransferStartDate

@x213217 ,

|eval TransferStartDate =strftime(strptime(TransferStartDate,"%Y%m%d"),"%Y:%m:%d")
|eval TransferStartTime =strftime(strptime(TransferStartTime ,"%H%M%S"),"%H:%M:%S")

Combined date & time

 |eval TransferDateTime=TransferStartDate." ".TransferStartTime
