Next time you need to do any parsing of structureed text and you're
thinking of using a hand coded recursive descent parser, stop and try
using lex and yacc (or high level language equivalents like ocamllex/
ocamlyacc).
I was wondering about this the other month, when I wanted to build a
small parser. Are lex and yacc really still the way to go in C?
I probably should have seized the opportunity to learn some ocaml...
