Hey fellas, I'm makin a forum right now and as a sub project, I'm making a template engine / class. Right now all it does is variable replacement, however I am curious as to how I can implement support for loops and if statements. I would appreciate any ideas that you may have, thank-you!
You'll have to write a parser. Or use something like bison/flex/yacc to create one for you. This is not something you want to try to knock out in an afternoon because you're bored. :-) Thank-you, but what exactly does a parser do?
