Eiffel scanner

In the directory $ISE_EIFFEL/examples/lex you will find a system that scans Eiffel classes. It consists of the class EIFFEL_SCAN . It uses the file eiffel_regular as lexical grammar to analyze an Eiffel class passed on the command line.

When compiling the example, the executable eiffel_scan(.exe) is created. Use the program as follows: eiffel_scan <Eiffel class file>;

As an example, when the source code of the root class is run through the scanner, it outputs a list of all consecutive tokens and keywords in that class to the console.
