And why is it pray tell that no one thought to use *THE* most efficient of
all systems for this horribly CPU intensive task? I refer you all to flex
of course. As long as you're using deterministic regular expressions then
this is the best there is.
Here's foo.l
/* Note that the square brackets contain space tab */
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%START OF foo.l%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%%
[\n ] putchar('\n');
[\n ]{2,} puts ("\n\n");
.* printf ( "%s", yytext );
%%
#include <stdio.h>
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%END OF foo.l%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
flex foo.l
gcc -O -o foo lex.yy.c -ll
./foo < input_file
