Okay I really hate to be rude here but why would
somebody reply to a question if they don't know the
answer to the problem? I mean come on I asked the
question because I haven't found the answer yet. I
don't need alternative programs to do this. All I want
to do is learn Flex so that I can generate any type of
Lexer I wish too.

I'm not looking for a syntax highlighting program to
convert code to html. Plus I have your program and it
is good. 

I am doing this as a learning tool so that I can
figure out how to use Flex.
