Lex program to check if characters other than alphabets occur in a string
Problem :- Write a Lex program to find if a character apart from alphabets occurs in a string or not
Explanation:- Flex (Fast Lexical Analyzer Generator ) is a tool or computer program which generates lexical analyzers (scanners or lexers) written by Vern Paxson in C around 1987.Lex reads an input stream specifying the lexical analyzer and outputs source code implementing the lexer in the C programming language.
The function yylex() is the main flex function which runs the Rule Section.
Examples.
Input: abcd
Output: No character other than alphabets
Explanation: Since we have alphabets ranging from a to z that's why the output is "no character other than alphabets"
Input: abcd54
Output: character other than alphabets present
Explanation: since 5 and 4 are not alphabets
Input: abc@bdg
Output: character other than alphabets present
Explanation: since @ is not a alphabet
Below is the implementation program:
C
%{
int len=0;
%}
%%
[a-zA-Z]+ { printf ( "No character other than alphabets" );}
.* { printf ( "character other than alphabets present" ); }
%%
int yywrap() { }
int main()
{
yylex();
return 0;
}
