I need to do a lot of string parsing before I can do the real work in
a program. Someone mentioned flex, but I can't seem to find a decent
tutorial. Anyone have any good sites? Thanks.

GNU flex comes with a 48 pages manual. We keep a copy under our
"local documentation" site, http://wwwcdf.pd.infn.it/localdoc.html
(with about other 200 manuals of free software). grep for 'flex'.

flex is not part of the GNU project (as noted here and other places):

hmm - for the record, an earlier version of that page made it easier to
see that flex is non-GNU (the oblique remark about "non-GNU implementation"
is less truthful than I'd prefer).
