Quex is an instrument specially created in order to generate lexical analyzers.
A lexical analyzer is a program that transforms a stream of characters into a stream of 'atomic chunks of meaning'.
Quex's main goal is to open the door to high speed interpreted languages beyond the bounds of traditional ASCII character sets. Language constructs should be possible that include classical math symbols such as '≠' and '¬' as well as identifiers made up of characters from all scripts of the world.

Quex is a tool to generate lexical analyzers. A lexical analyzer is a program that transforms a stream of characters into a stream of 'atomic chunks of meaning', as shown in the figure below:
As a result of the lexical analysis process the list of 'atomic chunks of meaning', so called 'tokens', prepare the interpretation on some higher level. Each token consists at least of a type identifier. Additionally, some parameters about the matching 'lexeme' might be stored in the token.
Quex provides a convenient means to describe a process of lexical analysis. It generates code in C/C++, which implements the user's lexical analyzer.
Features :
Produces directly coded lexical analyzer, rather than table based engines.
Sophisticated lexical analyzer modes which allow mode inheritance and mode...
