[ale] OT: Lex pattern expression struggles

[jeffrey.b.layton at lmco.com (Jeff Layton)]

Howdy!

   I'm struggling with a pattern expression for lex. I'm looking
for an expression that handle an alphanumeric string of 1 to
8 characters (only letters and numbers) followed by at least
one space and one of three keywords: "PARAM" "TABLE"
or "UPDATE". I've tried several things with no success (I
won't post them due to embarassment). Anyone have any
suggestions?

Thanks!

Jeff
