Parse does not support special characters such as '?' or 'L' and 7-part string format (0 30 9 ? 4,7 )

What's their meaning?

Wouldn't it be possible to implement these changes in the latest release? They would make this library quite complete

@MrNB0dy please file a PR, I'll be happy to review it...

@MrNB0dy @isoos

I was curious too so I looked into it, but it seems that these special symbols are not a standard Cron specification. Also, I have no idea when we use "year" option (for olympics?).

I feel that the only symbol that would be in demand is the "L", isn't it?
