XTemporal: Date and Time Pattern Extraction

XTemporal allows you to extract and normalize date/time patterns.  Current library is seven (7) most common date patterns.  This shadows developments with FlexPat and XCoord.

Usage

From the command line you can quickly test XCoord on a set of given test cases or provide a file of your own.

ant -f ./script/testing.xml 
file?    test/mytest.txt
ant test-default

... runs internal unit tests coupled with the given patterns configuration file

Programmatically, the essential usage is:

 XTemporal xdt = new XTemporal(true);
      
 xdt.configure();
 xdt.test("/text/file.txt");

 XTempResult res = xdt.extract_dates(buf, id);
        
 // print our res.matches
