    If you are looking at using them, use lex (or flex) and yacc (or bison). There are plenty of tutorials available on the web. Google is your friend.

    On the other hand, if you are looking about learning about them then read "Compiler Design Theory" by Lewis, Rosenkrantz and Stearns. It was the textbook for one of my subjects (surprisingly called "Compiler Design") this year. It's heavy going in parts, but it has a lot of useful stuff in it. It's not in print anymore, but there are some available second-hand on Amazon starting at $10.

    Other than that, have a look around for lecture notes from a compiler design class on the web.

    Sweet gentle jesus, Lexx and Yacc, i bloody hated them. Had a college assignment with them, if i can find it, and you want it, it's yours. Tis handy to have a working example sometimes
