lex update
This article updates the information at:

lex for Not Yet Techies

There is now an open source version of lex available from the GNU project and known as flex.

lex has been around for many years -- it predates C++, for example -- but is little used by many programmers, partly because it's associated with yacc.

It is something to keep in mind when you need a tool to perform pattern matching on text. lex can generate scanners, or programs which can pick out lexical patterns of words within a given text file.
