The Greater London Regional and Lesser Liverpudlian (krap) idioms?

I imagine it would.

And what it is? D'Oh! | :doh:

Maybe from Niklaus Wirth?

And what leads you to describe it as "the perfect book on parsing"?

I mean you don't have it, so you don't know it in details and same would be for the other books.... so why that one is the 'perfect' one? Confused | :confused:

If batting eyelashes doesn't work (hard to imagine)... Smile | :)

The first edition is available for download on the (seemingly legit) author site: PTAPG_1st_Edition[^]

honey the codewitch13-Feb-20 13:24

13-Feb-20 13:24

oh wow. I'll look into that thank you!

Edit: No book there, just a link to the 2nd edition (to buy) and a note that the 1st edition is out of print. Oh well. I ended up finding it for about $80, that's a bit more reasonable than what i was looking at having to pay.

~~Fooled me the first time also: the top Title/link is for the pdf~~

Seems like I need new four eyes, the link is only to an image.

Hmm, the link seems to be PTAPG_1st_Edition[^]

Found in freecomputerbooks.com website. It's still to the authors site, but don't know what to make of it...

yeah i found that link finally thanks to Rick York. Still, I need the 2nd edition but this is great for now. Thanks

Apparently this was..."added to my collection"...over 12 years ago. Ping me directly (I think there's some method on CP to send a private message?) if you're okay with some gray area source.

[Edit]
Duh. "Email", right next to "Reply". That should do it...

I didn't see any used for that price. I'll look again, thanks. I think it sent me to amazon.ca, maybe that's why

I looked again and the second entry at Amazon is the hardcover version, used and it is the one at $34.

It is rather funny that Grune's name is misspelled on the cover of it.

I think that's the first edition. Cheapest i found the 2nd edition for was about $79 and change

A PDF version of it can be found here : Parsing Techniques: A Practical Guide - Free Computer, Programming, Mathematics, Technical Books, Lecture Notes and Tutorials[^]

~~-edit- it seems the PDF version is inaccessible from that page.~~

I was mistaken. The link worked and I have several copies of the PDF now.

Main link doesn't work but the mirror does. thanks. I think i still need the 2nd edition for stuff like GLR but this is great.

I feel you are more than qualified to write that perfect book on Parsing.
