building a programming language is no joke. i think you should define your objectives and do a proper study of the scope and feasibility of your language.
here's a few questions i would like to ask
1) is it an object oriented language?
2) will it supports graphics?
3) what about compiling (or interpreting) your language??

by the way i will congratulate on your decision to do something new and exciting !!
c ya!!

there is no way i'm thinking of an object oriented or a graphics supporting language for that matter simple. it would be too complex and it would be take years for me to finish it all on my own( u see i don't have any one to paticipate with me in this) i'm just thinkng of a very basic language(one like BASIC itself) just 4 fun and a little experience. and yes i intend to build a compiler for this stuff. that is what i build after all.

Hi Mahul,

Check out the link #-Link-Snipped-# for more details on compiler construction (especially on tools lex and yacc).

I would recommend book O'Reilly - Lex & YACC. I good read for compiler construction.

I have used some similar tools (JFlex and Cup that generates Java code instead of C code).

Please let me know if you are stuck somewhere. I am not an expert in it but together we may resolve the problem.
