Project info for dso-lex

Created 7 Feb 2008 at 01:58 UTC by dsowen, last modified 7 Feb 2008 at 02:02 UTC by dsowen.

Notes:

Allows lexers to be defined using regular expressions a la cl-ppcre. A lexer will convert (or tokenize) a text string into a list of tokens (consisting of a token-class and the token's image). For example:


(defun snip (s) (subseq s 1 (1- (length s))))

(defun un-squote (s) (regex-replace-all "''" (snip s) "'"))
(defun un-dquote (s) (regex-replace-all "\"\"" (snip s) "\""))

(deflexer scan-csv
  ("[^\"',]+" value)
  ("'(?:[^']|'')*'" value un-squote)
  ("\"(?:[^\"]|\"\")*\"" value un-dquote)
  ("," comma))

New Advogato Features

New HTML Parser: The long-awaited libxml2 based HTML parser code is live. It needs further work but already handles most markup better than the original parser.
