I need an extra credit homework assignment :)

I have been messing with lex and yacc, even bought/read lex&yacc, the one with the two pigeons on the cover. (Lex is the one on the left.) http://a1204.g.akamai.net/7/1204/1401/05101317011/images.barnesandnoble.com/images/10250000/10258471.jpg

but I am having trouble getting into it. I think that is because what I want to do is parse SQL commands, which it beyond me right now, and it is a little too much work to do anything that "has no value."

So now my point: anyone want a 'free' parser? like do you have a hand made one that doesn't work quite as well as you wanted? In theory I can make a 'prefect' one, or at least a much more understandable/maintainable one. The only thing I as is that you actually use it, and tell me if it works.

If you aren't clear what is/isn't a parser: if you are reading in a text file, breaking it up on word/line breaks and looking for specific strings or patterns, that is probably a parser.
