Flex (lexical analyser generator)
Flex (fast lexical analyzer generator) is a free and open-source software alternative to lex. It is a computer program that generates lexical analyzers (also known as "scanners" or "lexers"). It is frequently used as the lex implementation together with Berkeley Yacc parser generator on BSD-derived operating systems (as both
lex and yacc are part of POSIX), or together with GNU bison (a version of yacc) in *BSD ports and in GNU/Linux distributions. Unlike Bison, flex is not part of the GNU Project and is not released under the GNU Public License.| See more at Wikipedia.org... |
