"State Table" is a table in which the left column contains regular expressions and the right column contains actions to be executed when the expressions are recognized. Actions can be written as C program fragments.

Kindly anyone correct me if I am wrong.

NAME
lex - generator of lexical analysis programs SYNOPSIS
lex [ -tvfn ] [ file ] ... DESCRIPTION
Lex generates programs to be used in simple lexical analyis of text. The input files (standard input default) contain regular expressions to be searched for, and actions written in C to be executed when expressions are found. A C source program, 'lex.yy.c' is generated, to be compiled thus: cc lex.yy.c -ll This program, when run, copies unrecognized portions of the input to the output, and executes the associated C action for each regular expression that is recognized. The options have the following meanings. -t Place the result on the standard output instead of in file "lex.yy.c". -v Print a one-line summary of statistics of the generated analyzer. -n Opposite of -v; -n is default. -f "Faster" compilation: don't bother to pack the resulting tables; limited to small programs. EXAMPLE
lex lexcommands would draw lex instructions from the file lexcommands, and place the output in lex.yy.c %% [A-Z] putchar(yytext[0]+'a'-'A'); [ ]+$ ; [ ]+ putchar(' '); is an example of a lex program that would be put into a lex command file. This program converts upper case to lower, removes blanks at the end of lines, and replaces multiple blanks by single blanks. SEE ALSO
