Hey Rick,

There's quite a few parser generators out there. You should try browsing
that module directory at http://www.vex.net/parnassus/ .

Having said that, I was recently investigating the notion of a
VBscript preprocessor, and looked at quite a few parser generators.
I chose SPARK, because it seemed well documented and easy to use.
it's at: http://www.csr.uvic.ca/~aycock/python/content.html
