Subject: | lexical analyzer for .db? |

Hi Is there 'n lexical analyzer for .db files? I guess there must be something in epics BASE somewhere? But is it written in something like flex that can easily be extended/used or is it some custom code nightmare? O let me explain. I want to make some sort of .db file pre-processor that can do some modifications. Mainly macro expansion type stuff. And this I want to use so that some rule stuff can be written in Macro's and not in long complex records and hopefully make it easier to maintain and understand and change. And then maybe also handle some other stuff with the pre-processor to keep thing consistently linked ect... making it more reliable and less prone to human error. Plus the person working with it might not fully understand all the internal stuff of 'n db. Any ideas is welcome. Thanks -Heinrich
