... and not just any parser; I am looking for one that I can input a
sentence into, and that saves the results to a file. [The idea being that a
computer program could send a sentence to it, and be able to interpret the
output.]

Right now I have the Link Grammar parser which is fantastic, but it doesn't
save its results to a file--I know it has an API for C but I am not
programming in C. Does anyone know of anything like this? If not, what
other parsers are there from which a program might be able to send input to
and receive output from? Thanks!

I am cross-posting this to the comp.AI messageboard because of my dire need
for such a parser; I hope nobody minds.

Hi, Gabe,

Check out the TAIParse parser at

http://www.textanalysis.com/taiparse0_1.zip

VisualText-built analyzers take input from a file, a buffer or a
stream, produce output to a buffer, stream, or any number of files.
The latest version also features database connectivity via ODBC.
Another way is to post data to the integrated knowledge base and pick
it up from there, e.g., to collect and integrate information across
multiple texts.

I can get you a pre-release of the latest TAIParse, which is much
stronger than the 0.1 out on the website. You can download the above
and examine the code, rules, and knowledge base files. But you'll
need VisualText to run the analyzer.

A free 30-day trial copy available to those who provide bona fide
contact information. Note that you can only run analyzers inside
VisualText unless you purchase a runtime license. Academic licensing
is available to those who qualify.

LKB is free (for research) and comes with complete source-code. And has a
very decent grammar as well.
