BISON To Represent BASIC Grammer

[Chris Cranford]

I am trying to write a BASIC-language script bytecode compiler.  Someone
recommended that I use BISON in order to properly parse my .BAS and to
generate my bytecode file.  Has anyone attempted this in the past or can
offer some assistance?

Here is an example .BAS file:

////
// Sample program
//
Dim X as Integer = 2
Dim Y as String  = "Hello World"

Print X
Print Y
Print "This is a string printed on print statement followed by the #"; X

End
// End of file
////

Appreciate anyone's help in advance!
