13Flex is a tool for generating programs which regognize patterns in text.
14Pattern recognition is very useful in many applications. A user sets up rules
15what to look for and flex will make a program that looks for those
16patterns. The reason people use flex is that it is much easier to set up
17rules for what to look for than to write the actual program that finds
18the text.
