DESCRIPTION:Research into parsing did not end with the 1970s. In this lect
 ure\, I will cover several more recent tools which ease compiler front-end
  construction. This includes a brief look at LEMON\, a more modern equival
 ent to YACC\; parsing expression grammars and packrat parsers\; and parser
  combinators.\n\nThese techniques differ from earlier methods\, such as LR
  parsing\, in that their underlying formalisms are directly targeted at th
 e problem of parsing programming languages\, rather than natural languages
 . This allows them to offer programmer friendly interfaces and good perfor
 mance. \n\nThis lecture should be helpful to anybody who has to read struc
 tured data from a text file...
