hey, i've just suscribed because i was looking for a Delphi forum to learn a bit, and found this,
Some months ago I wanted to build a GUI/compiler for corewar games (the one invented in '84 where you program in asm a warrior to fight with the other warrior in a core).
So I have this exact same problem, I've tried the Gold Parser stuff, but I was unable to understand all the underlying stuff.
What i finally did was, remembering the compilers lessons in the university, that really it's not complex to build your own lexer/parser.
If i remember right the perfect book was the one with a dragon in the cover? or that was the one about Operative Systems? .
Btw, still not finished it, but it got it working to the symbols table :D (because corewar assemblers need macro processings, etc...)
Anyway, depending on what you want to parse and do, maybe it's easier to build your own one. There is a very good tutorial online in Pascal about this, if you are interested I can have a look.
Regards, and thanks everyone, this is my first post :D

Does anyone have some library/unit to make coding of tokeniser/parser/somekind of tree easier?
