Correct, fixed in the attached.

I don't the capabilities of the tool is all that interesting compared to the long term maintainability and readability of the source code. Personally I think a simple Bison/Flex parser is easier to read and reason about than the corresponding written in C.
When this work is done, then there is no reason to throw it. The parser in bison/flex does the same work and it is true, so code is more readable. Although for this case, a handy written parser was trivial too.
