Ruby has this great library called Chronic that parses strings into Ruby Date objects. It handles date strings that are human friendly as well as in rigid formats.
You can see some usage examples here: https://github.com/mojombo/chronic Has anyone already made such a parser for TiddyWiki5? Does anyone know if a similar library exists for Javascript which could be used? Why? I have a textbox for rapid list item entry. Instead of picking a due-date for example, I just want to include the due-date as part of the text and have a macro parse it out from the title and add it as a date field. An example entry in my textbox might look like this: Schedule a fire system test due:"oct 1 8am" -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
