Abstract: . Modern programming languages use regular expressions to define valid tokens. Traditional lexical analyzers based on minimum deterministic finite automata for regular expressions cannot handle the look-ahead problem. The scanner writer needs to explicitly identify the look-ahead states and code the buffering and re-scanning operations by hand. We identify the class of finite look-ahead finite automata, which is general enough to include all finite automata of practical lexical analyzers.... (Update)
