Thats why I was looking into it this way, I was hoping not to have to create my own parser. I'm actually kinda of surprised that there isn't a open source natural language date string parser out there already.

Maybe take a look at the source from the GNU "at" command? It would be in C, but might yield some useful ideas. HTH, - James Jones Administrative Data Mgmt. Webmaster 375 Raritan Center Pkwy, Suite A Data Architect Edison, NJ 08837
