9<para>flex is a tool for generating programs which recognize
10patterns in text. Pattern recognition is very useful in many applications.
11A user sets up rules
[6370fa6]12what to look for and flex will make a program that looks for those
[60cca0b]13patterns. The reason people use flex is that it is much easier to sets up
[6370fa6]14rules for what to look for than to write the actual program that finds
[bdc08c1]15the text.</para></sect4>
