Hi,

I'm writing a progam to help me document my code. What I want to do is 
parse the entire code for functions, classes, variables, control 
structures and so forth.
So far I have managed some, but my skills are lacking.

From what I understand I need to learn about lexical analysis. Is this 
correct ?

If so can anybody guide me to some tutorials (Preferably with examples, 
and preferably in Delphi) or suggest books.
I have not been lucky in my search so far.

If not, could you please tell me what I should be looking into instead.

Thanks in advance,
Johnny
