# devel/alex - The NetBSD Packages Collection

Tool for generating lexical analysers in Haskell

    Alex is a tool for generating lexical analysers in Haskell, given a
    description of the tokens to be recognised in the form of regular
    expressions. It is similar to the tools lex and flex for C/C++.

    Alex takes a description of tokens based on regular expressions and
    generates a Haskell module containing code for scanning text
    efficiently. Alex is designed to be familiar to exisiting lex users,
    although it does depart from lex in a number of ways.
