The strings are machine generated, but they come from many sources I
can't trust. I'll mess a bit with the lexer, after all the syntax will be very
straightforward and the real job is the semantic/intepretation thing.
BTW is there some documentation online about lexer states in SableCC or
it's better not to waste time on that and wait for SableCC4?

Hi Javier,
I agree with Seth and Rowan; a hand written lexer will be easier to write and
maintain. Maybe SableCC4 will change that, but I am not sure. Parsing tools are
particularly useful for recovering structure in texts. When you already have
structured data (which is usually the case of binary files), the added value is
less. I guees that, in that case, it mostly depends on whether the generated
AST classes add value or not.
Have fun!
Etienne

confidentiality addendum does not make much sense.
