About GnuWin32: Flex

GnuWin32: Flex is a lexical analyzer generator that produces programs for matching patterns in text. A lexical analyzer breaks input into meaningful tokens, such as names, numbers, or symbols, according to rules defined by a developer. Flex is often used with parser generators when building compilers and other tools that process structured languages. Flex is a free implementation of Lex and provides a compatibility mode for Lex specifications, along with additional features such as exclusive start conditions. These conditions let a scanner apply different matching rules in different contexts. The supplied information does not list generated-code languages or platform details. Its purpose is helping developers build text-scanning components from pattern descriptions.
