<para><command>flex</command> is a tool for generating programs that
|
|
recognize patterns in text. Pattern recognition is useful in many applications.
|
|
From a set of rules on what to look for flex makes a program that looks for
|
|
those patterns. The reason to use flex is that it is much easier to specify
|
|
the rules for than to write the actual pattern-finding program.</para>

|
|
<para><command>flex++</command> invokes a version of flex that is used
|
