Hi,
I have not been able to get the expected result after compilation of the grammer file.I do not know what the problem is as I followed the steps carefully.
It gives this:
sample.grammar has 3 rules
sample.voca has 6 categories and 18 words
Now parsing grammar file
"rror: Lexical mistake "
---
no .dfa or .dict file generated
Help will be appreciated.
Hi rovira74,
Are you running the mkdfa.pl script in Windows, Cygwin, or Linux? Which version? I tried it on Fedora FC6, and it seems to work OK.
It sounds like you might have extra characters in either your sample.grammar and sample.voca.
It might also be a problem with using a Windows text file on Unix/Cygwin or vice versa (i.e. extra carriage returns or line feeds). The "dos2unix" or "unix2dos" Linux/Cygwin commands can clear this up.

thanks ken.
Used dos2unix command on the files and got expected result.
how do you use the dos2unix and/or command? also, if I use windows (vista) which one of the two should I use?

Hi ethan,
>how do you use the dos2unix and/or command?
From a Cygwin console on Windows, you should be able to use the "man" command to get documentation on any Cygwin command, like this:
$ man dos2unix
$ man unix2dos
(use the "q" to exit the man help page)
>if I use windows (vista) which one of the two should I use?
I can' t remember off-hand... I don't have access to a Windows machine right now - try them both and see which works :)

use the "cd" command to change directory to where your files are located, then execute the commands as follows:
My version of Cygwin does not have a "man" page entries for these commands either. Google brings up the following web pages:
