"lex.yy.c"?
Yes, this is Lex and it is Wonderful, but in the beginning a little bit difficult.





Lex is a Lexical Analyzer, you can use it in several way, one that should be most used, is to convert a sequence of characters in your C source code into a sequence of tokens.





In this way you can, for example, crate your custom Makefile that compile on different platform and different operating systems.





To use it you need to read and read and read and try it.





This http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages... you can use on Windows, but I advice you to follow the links inside the wiki that you posted to understand clearly what are Lexical Analizer and how to use them
