I have a problem with flex. It doesn't recognize the or operator in this rule:
[0-9A-Za-z]+{CORRECT} | {CORRECT}[0-9A-Za-z]+ [0-9A-Za-z]+{CORRECT}[0-9A-Za-z]+ {...}
If I split it into three rules then it is recognized:
[0-9A-Za-z]+{CORRECT} {...}
{CORRECT}[0-9A-Za-z]+ { ...}
[0-9A-Za-z]+{CORRECT}[0-9A-Za-z]+ {...}
To explain myself better the pattern I am trying to recognize is:
CORRECT [1-9]*_[1-9]*0
And in order for flex to recognize the CORRECT pattern only when it is not surrounded by other characters I have to add these three rules.
Full flex code:
%option noyywrap
%{
#include <stdio.h>
int num_lines=1;
%}
CORRECT [1-9]*_[1-9]*0
%%
{CORRECT} { printf("CORRECT TOKEN:%s\n",yytext); }
[0-9A-Za-z]+{CORRECT} { printf("ERROR %d:Unidentified symbol: %s\n",num_lines,yytext);}
{CORRECT}[0-9A-Za-z]+ { printf("ERROR %d:Unidentified symbol: %s \n",num_lines,yytext);}
[0-9A-Za-z]+{CORRECT}[0-9A-Za-z]+ { printf("ERROR %d:Unidentified symbol: %s \n",num_lines,yytext); }
"\n" { num_lines++; }
" "
"\t"
"\r"
. { printf("ERROR %d:Unidentified symbol: %s \n",num_lines,yytext);}
%%
int main(int argc,char **argv)
{
++argv,--argc;
if(argc>0)
yyin=fopen(argv[0],"r");
else
yyin=stdin;
yylex();
}
Whitespace is significant in a lex pattern. a | b
a | b
is not the same as a|b
. In the troublesome pattern, you have whitespace that I don't think you intended.
That said, in my opinion, your 3-pattern solution is easier to read and maintain.
