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().

qtBisonC++ is a general-purpose parser generator that converts a grammar description for an LALR(1) context-free grammar into a QT C++ program to parse that grammar. qtBisonC++ reads the given input files for a description of a scanner to generate. The description is in the form of grammar in Backus-Naur Form (BNF), called rules. qtBisonC++ generates as output a C++ source and include file, `lexyy.cpp` and `lexyy.h`, which defines a class `lexyy'. This file is compiled with your code to produce an executable. When the executable is run, it analyses its input to verify that its correspond to the grammar.
