Hi John and Evangelos,
Thanks for your comments.
I am new in this parsing business, and may not ever need it once this
project is over(personal project, for fun).
According to your comments, can you kindly help me in one thing:
I *NEED* to parse the bibtex file. So, is flex+bison is the best option
I have or am I already in a wrong way?
If I am in right path, I don't mind learning, but if there is any
alternative, please suggest(oh...its not btparse I am looking for)
[I see perl BibTeX::Parser, python https://launchpad.net/pybtex/,
and java https://code.google.com/p/javabib/. Unless you really really
need your parser to be written in C, I'd start with one of those. -John]
