The problem of lexical analysis of text is known for a long time and usually is connected with compiler’s design.

The problem can be solved using automatons. This work shows how the automatons can simplify the process of making lexical analyzers.

The result of this work is the program that generates lexical analyzers using automatons.

The program was written in Eiffel programming language using EiffelStudio IDE.
