Natural Language Date/Time parser written in Lex, Yacc and C.

###Build It:

  1. clone repo
  2. run command "make"
  3. make creates a static library called libMoment.a and an executable testParser.exe that links to the static library.

Run ./testParser.exe to try it out.

If you want to use the library in XCode you can run the script buildFatLibIOS.sh This will build a fat library containing the library for ISO and for Simulator. Currently only set for 9.2 sdk.

To use it:
Add the library and TimeParser.h to your project
Include "TimeParser.h" 
Then call the method parseDateTimeString(StringToParse), which returns a double type (unix time).
You can then turn it into struct tm * with the localtime function but first would need to cast it to a time_t type.
