Hey, just brushing up on my regex in .NET. I used Stallman's lex/yacc back in the day (1990s) and made great programs with very little effort. Its seeming to me that MS in .NET has emphasized good lexical scanning but is short on building grammatical constructs a la YACC, short of laborious groupings (...). For instance, in YACC I could define a whole grammar for a language (for instance, a language that dictates chip layout) in about 1 page of code. Is there something similar and as powerful with .NET Regex class? Maybe I'm overlooking something. Thx.
