It looks like you are already creating the timestamp when you scan it from the string, just run that directly into the Date to Seconds vi.
the attatched vi shows what I mean.

Aha!
I see, I see! Thank you very much! But, just wondering, when I run the VI I really can't see any difference between the input and the output (other than the layout and no hundredths of seconds). Am I still doing something wrong, or what is it?

It may not look different, but the timestamps in the array that you create can be used to do math with.
If you just have the string time, you cannot just wire them into greater than or less than statements.
So what you are effectively doing is preparing the times so that you can ask, "Is this time greater than the lower time of my interval?" and "Is this time less than the end time of my interval?"
