Hi,

  1. Go to http://google.com.
  2. Type in “ruby rex” (without the quotes).
  3. Go through the search results and see if it’s the “Rex” you’re
    looking for
  4. Read.

Well, what are we supposed to do now? The extension doesn’t say
anything, we need the file and the context.

I guess the file didn’t just appear on your hard disk but rather belongs
to a certain program. So where did you get it from? What does it
contain?

Sorry, but we’re not psychic.

Rex: howto use the lexer class? - Ruby - Ruby-Forum

lol I thought you were asking the question.

If that’s the “Rex” you were looking for, great. It’s part of a parser
for a custom language.

Hmm. So you answered your own question? :)))

Last updated 2006 though. That project seems to have been abandoned.

Of what i have got from various sources,
Rex is similar to Lex in C.
Rex is used in conjunction with Raac as like Lex with Yaac.
Rex performs the similar function what Lex performs, distributes the
input into tokens.

With Rex and Raac, we can create our own compiler.
