Lexer / Parser (my own little scripting language)

[Insolence]

I'm having a VERY hard time finding material I can read to understand this stuff. So far I got a program to evaluate mathematical equations and a basic Lexer that splits a string simply into a stack like so... Example string - FunctionName ( "Param1" ); Stack[5]SEMICOLON Stack[4]CLOSE_PAREN Stack[3]"Param1" Stack[2]OPEN_PAREN Stack[1]FunctionName Basically it tells me when it hits a special character, and after that it tells me what's inside it. I'm having a really hard time explaining this, a bunch of source is available here: www.insolence9.com/downloads/SBN.zip Thanks

But what are you needs? Do you need to write a parser/lexer or is it a homework assignment where you need to understand how it's done? If all you need is to write a quick parser, try COCO/R or ANTLR. I see dead pixels Yes, even I am blogging now!

(I'm replying from school right now) I'm only 16, not in college quite yet, so it's not an assignment :) I've realized these easier solutions, but I want to hardcode it (for fun). The documentation on this is geared towards people already very well versed in computer science and such. This is a bit out of my league, so I'm going to ask that you link me to a bit of less-savvy-specific material :)

Anyone?
