[comp.lang.c] Looking for a parser

lewisc@tramp.colorado.edu (LEWIS CHRISTOPHER J) (06/08/91)

I need to find a parser that can handle strings
formatted in a specific way.  For instance:

	1,2,3-tribromoethane and
	2,3,5-trimethyl-4-propylheptane etc.

and be able to extract the pertinent information
from them as well as indicate any errors if the
string is input incorrectly.

What I'm looking for is a public domain parser with
C source code that I can modify.  I'd rather not
have to write this from scratch.  Does anyone know
of any that would suffice?

Thanks.
