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

|

23 | <para>We create a bash script called lex which calls flex using the -l option.
|

24 | This is for compatibility purposes for programs which use lex instead
|

25 | of flex.</para></sect4>
