Lex/Yacc for C#?

by

I’ve done a couple of small projects with GPLEX/GPPG, which are pretty straightforward reimplementations of LEX/YACC in C#. I’ve not used any of the other tools above, so I can’t really compare them, but these worked fine.

GPPG can be found here and GPLEX here.

That being said, I agree, a full LEX/YACC solution probably is overkill for your problem. I would suggest generating a set of bindings using IronPython: it interfaces easily with .NET code, non-programmers seem to find the basic syntax fairly usable, and it gives you a lot of flexibility/power if you choose to use it.
