A simple way to get started with Bison is to start with the calculator in the Bison manual, or the use a Flex/Bison combination, as in the book by Aho, Sethi & Ullman, "Compilers...". Then experiment, and expand from there.

As for the general parsing problem, and compiler tools, you might benefit from checking out the Usenet newsgroup comp.compilers, and its FAQ, published there monthly.

Hello,

I recently began to learn the basic principles of parsers, context free grammar and espcially bison, because I need it for a project. But I wondered
if the use of bison would be suitable at all in my case.

In this project, the content of a game (objects, visuals, logic, etc.)
should be defined by a simple text file, which will be generated before. This file should be parsed and complete the game depending on its content.
Perhaps one element coult look like this:

object( ammount=10, position(0,0,random), texture(...), ... )

.. I don't know yet :)
The game is written in C++ and I wonder now, if it is possible at all, to create a more or less complex behaviour with a parser.. and if.. what do I
have to consider?
I have to mention again, that I am practically a complete newbie to all this
:)
