Flex is a tool for generating scanners. A scanner, sometimes called a
|
|
tokenizer, is a program which recognizes lexical patterns in text. The
|
|
flex program reads user-specified input files, or its standard input
|
|
if no file names are given, for a description of a scanner to generate.
|
|
The description is in the form of pairs of regular expressions and C
|
|
code, called rules. Flex generates a C source file named, "lex.yy.c",
|
|
which defines the function yylex(). The file "lex.yy.c" can be compiled
|
|
and linked to produce an executable. When the executable is run, it
|
|
analyzes its input for occurrences of text matching the regular
|
|
expressions for each rule. Whenever it finds a match, it executes the
|
|
corresponding C code.
