A simplified cron parser
Requirements
- Swift 5.5
- Command line tools
How to Run
- Create a file locate it in the root of the project (same level as package.swift) with the tast for the cron parser in this format:
30 1 /bin/run_me_daily
45 * /bin/run_me_hourly
* * /bin/run_me_every_minute
* 19 /bin/run_me_sixty_times
- In the root of the project run the command
swift run <inputFile> <simulatedTime>
- inputFile is the file containing the information for the cron parser
- simulatedTime the simulated time to run the cron parser in format HH:mm
- Example:
swift run testFile.txt 16:10
Notes
This is my first time creating an executable swift project, so I don't meet the requirement of running the program using cat input.txt | <how to run your solution> <simulated current time>
If having more time, I would have separated the file reader to its own class to test it properly.
