Lex is a program generator designed for lexical processing of character input streams. It accepts a high-level, problem oriented specification for character string matching, and produces a program in a general purpose language which recognizes regular expressions.
The function of Lex is as follows: Firstly lexical analyzer creates a program lex.1 in the Lex language. Then Lex compiler runs the lex.1 program and produces a C program lex.yy.c. Finally C compiler runs the lex.yy.c program and produces an object program a.out. a.out is lexical analyzer that transforms an input stream into a sequence of tokens.
Lex is a computer program that generates lexical analyzers ("scanners" or "lexers"). [1] [2] It is commonly used with the yacc parser generator and is the standard lexical analyzer generator on many Unix and Unix-like systems. An equivalent tool is specified as part of the POSIX standard. [3]
