This is not related to parsing but to the interpretation of the data :)

I agree with Stef, your seems to be more an interpretation problem. If you are looking for a parser that can parse any kind of datas you can write something like:

#digit asParser plus flatten separatedBy: ('/' asParser / '.' asParser)

But to know what you reading you should have some convention to follow.

There is no magic no?
BTW this is the birthday of one of my sons :)

Again why a computer looking at only one sample would be prescient?
