If you have a bit history of compilers, you will find these slides very helpful,

I am not a good reader, but this is the paper for your reference,

Thanks Hao. Unfortunately, I don't have much of a compilers background, though I have used flex and bison back in school, but never in real life.  I did find those two PDFs and have tried to go through them, but I was looking for something even more simplified... let's say "LPEG for dummies" !!

I wrote it after explaining lpeg to myself, and captured that learning
