Are you certain you want to use Lex?  If no, you may like this
fascinating and instructive lecture by Rob Pike, which solves a lexing
problem using Golang: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HxaD_trXwRE

If you have "The Unix Programming Environment" handy, you will also
find a lucid tutorial of Lex and Yacc both (in the later chapters).
