What online course do you recommend?
I have used Lex/Yacc in the past to create a custom "language" for an

So is this embedded as in "limited memory" and printers like "horrid binary
protocols"? This might not fit with that kind of parser.

I'd also recommend against Yacc. As others have said, it's a great tool and
very powerful but a recursive descent parser will do the job 99% of the
time and will be much easier. Writing a good unambiguous grammar for Yacc
can be tricky and is much more difficult to debug than a recursive descent

Ater advising against YACC, I thought I should promote it a bit.
YACC uses a formal declarative system for specifying a language
grammar (Backus-Naur Form). This has a number of nice features:
- BNF is very well described and extensively used in the literature

Every now and then, I come across situation where an ideal solution
would have been a custom parser/interpreter, either to parse data format
or to write my own sets of commands. In each case, I don't know enough

resorting to shell, a
