Qt classes for performing lexical analyis?
Message 1 in thread
Hi All,
I need to write a program that parses and runs scripts written in a
specific format.
Do i have to use Lex and Yacc to parse the scripts, or can does Qt offer
some better mechanism
PS: I need to use Qt 3.x , because i will be integrating the library
back into KDE 3.5.5'

Answer to first part is yes, to the 2nd part is no. You may want to try
antlr instead of yacc/lex as IMHO its a bit easier to understand and it
is easier to provide C++ lexing/parsing classes. With Yacc and Lex that
is really not straight forward and as you seem to be writing a library I
don't think global objects are an option.
