Lex Program to check valid email

Lex is a computer program that generates lexical analyzers. Lex reads an input stream specifying the lexical analyzer and outputs source code implementing the lexer in the C programming language.

The commands for executing the lex program are:

lex abc.l (abc is the file name)
cc lex.yy.c -efl
./a.out

Let’s see lex program to check valid email.

Examples:

Input : 
csetanmayjain@gmail.com
Output :
 Valid

Input : 
!23@43.com
Output : 
Not Valid

Below is the implementation:

/*lex code to accept a  valid email */ 
% 
{ 
  int flag = 0; % 
} % 
% [a - z.0 - 9 _] + @[a - z] + ".com" | ".in"
flag = 1; % 
% 
main() { 
  yylex(); 
  if (flag == 1) 
    printf("Accepted"); 
  else
    printf("Not Accepted"); 
} 

Output:
