Golang : How to tokenize source code with text/scanner package?
It has been a while since I touch the topic on tokenizer.....err... since the day I actually built a compiler back in the 90's in Ada95!
Ok, time to cut the grandma or grandpa story.
This short code example below demonstrate how to tokenize souce code with Golang's text/scanner
package.
Here you go !
package main
import (
"fmt"
"strings"
"text/scanner"
)
func main() {
code := `<?php
echo "Hello World!";
?>`
codeReader := strings.NewReader(code)
fmt.Println(code)
fmt.Println("------------------------------")
fmt.Println("TOKENS : ")
fmt.Println("------------------------------")
var scn scanner.Scanner
scn.Init(codeReader)
tok := scn.Scan()
fmt.Println(scn.TokenText())
for tok != scanner.EOF {
tok = scn.Scan()
fmt.Println(scn.TokenText())
}
}
