Probably there is something that could do this specific job.
If you don't find it soon, try looking for TP-Lex and TP-Yacc
from the Simtel collection:

http://www.simtel.net/simtel.net/msdos/turbopas-pre.html
tply30a1.zip and tply30a2.zip.

You can with a little study of the manual and examples,
you can easily create your own.
