### chrono-english Command-Line Examples

Source: https://github.com/stevedonovan/chrono-english/blob/master/readme.md

Demonstrates the usage of the `parse-date` command-line tool provided by chrono-english for parsing various English date and time expressions. Examples show parsing relative dates, absolute dates with different formats, and specifying the dialect.

```bash
alias p='cargo run --quiet --example parse-date --'
$ p 'next April'
base Wed Mar 14 20:10:37 2018 +0200
calc Sun Apr  1 00:00:00 2018 +0200
$ p '20/03/18 12:04'
base Wed Mar 14 20:12:44 2018 +0200
calc Tue Mar 20 12:04:00 2018 +0200
$ p '9/11/01' --american
base Wed Mar 14 20:13:08 2018 +0200
calc Tue Sep 11 00:00:00 2001 +0200
$ p 'next fri 8pm' '2018-03-14'
base Wed Mar 14 00:00:00 2018 +0200
calc Fri Mar 16 20:00:00 2018 +0200

### Parse English Date String

Source: https://github.com/stevedonovan/chrono-english/blob/master/readme.md

Parses a given English date string into a chrono DateTime object. It takes the date string, a base DateTime for relative calculations, and a Dialect (Uk or Us). The base time also determines the timezone.

```rust
extern crate chrono_english;
use chrono_english::{parse_date_string,Dialect};

extern crate chrono;
use chrono::prelude::*;

let date_time = parse_date_string("next friday 8pm", Local::now(), Dialect::Uk)?;
println!("{}",date_time.format("%c"));
```
