Re: [Dev-C++] regexp howto in C/C++

[Per W. <pw...@ia...>]

flex is the lexical analyzer tool, and is a gnu version of lex

bison is the parser generator, and is a gnu version of yacc.

flex requires you to write a rule-set, and will then generate c source
code. However, there are a lot of other libraries specialized on handling
regexp, i.e. they allow the regexp to be specified as a text string during
run-time.
