Natural language date/time parser for .NET? [closed]

Answer 1

A .NET port of Chronic exists. See https://github.com/robertwilczynski/nChronic. I created a fork of it with some improvements and bug fixes, here: https://github.com/dorony/nChronic (sent pull requests, the author still hasn't responded).

Answer 2

There was a similar thread earlier and it gave a link to a library on CodeProject that seems to do what you want: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/edit/dateparser.aspx but unfortunately the library seems to be written in MFC so you would have to make a DLL out of it and then call it from your .NET program.

Answer 3

@ Burton: I think he meant the other way, at least from the example on the linked page:

  Chronic.parse('tomorrow')
    #=> Mon Aug 28 12:00:00 PDT 2006

  Chronic.parse('monday', :context => :past)
    #=> Mon Aug 21 12:00:00 PDT 2006

  Chronic.parse('this tuesday 5:00')
    #=> Tue Aug 29 17:00:00 PDT 2006

I thought I would take a stab at it too until I realized! (nice implementation though)
