Hello:

I have been looking for a tool similar to Lex and Yacc for C#. I would
like to be able to generate grammars so I can write a simple
interpreter for another piece of code. However, I have to make many
future grammars and was hoping to find a tool that would allow me to
generate as many as I would like.

I was hoping someone had made a port for C#. I haven't had any luck
looking for one, so any direction would be appreciated.

Thanks a lot,
Travis

Just to clarify, I don't want to be able to parse C# files, I want to
generate parsers using C#.

You can use ANTLR, which is a mature parser generator framework, but a bit weird perhaps.
You can also use Goldparser. Both are free.
