Flex is a tool for generating programs which regognize patterns in text.
|
||
|
|
Pattern recognition is very useful in many applications. You set up rules
|
||
|
|
what to look for and flex will make a program that looks for those
|
||
|
|
patterns. The reason people use flex is that it is much easier to set up
|
||
|
|
rules for what to look for than to write the actual program that finds
|
||
|
|
the text.
