One approach I like for this sort of thing is Pratt parsing. A full Pratt parsing "library" can be implemented with barely any work (hour or two), and from there you get quick and easy expression parsing with full support for precedence levels, left/right associativity, infix operations, etc. Doc I read for introduction to the area: http://journal.stuffwithstuff.com/2011/03/19/pratt-parsers-expression-parsing-made-easy/ http://journal.stuffwithstuff.com/2011/03/19/pratt-parsers-e...
