Abstract TLex is a pattern matching and parsing library for C++. In comparison to existing pattern matching tools, TLex sets a new standard for expressiveness when nearly optimal speed is required. It incorporates recent advances in regular expression technology that make it easier to write patterns and extract information from a successful match. An overview of TLex is presented, the pattern and parsing languages are described, and actual results of its use are discussed.
