No, you don't need to keep the TC and lex tool in the same folder.

Basically, while writing lex programs, you specify tokens and the action to be performed when that token is found.

When you compile your lex program (like the one given above), it will generate a .c file that contain c code for the specified task.

Now, you have to take that c file and need to compile with TC or any other compiler (i will suggest gcc) and you gets the executable which when executed performs the task.

i do get a c file,my c file is not getting compiled by TC.should i go necessarily for gcc,that means i have to install linux?i hope borland c++ compiler is same as turboc. coz i guess this parser generator software is compatible with borland c++

I would always recommend to use gcc over TC.

No need to install Linux, use cygwin available at Cygwin Information and Installation or use GCW (gcc for windows) available at SourceForge.net: gcw. Gcc for Windows
