This program actually reads in an input expression and using the grammar rule to determine whether the syntax is ok or not. This is a lexical analyzer. I need to be able to read in the input expression and output each token of the expression and it's token kind. I'm having some trouble with that code. Could someone help me?

import java.io.*;

public class grammar

{ private static StreamTokenizer tokens;
private static int token;

public static void main(String argv[]) throws IOException

{ InputStreamReader reader;
System.out.println("Enter Your Expression Ending with a SEMICOLON:");
if (argv.length > 0)
reader = new InputStreamReader(new FileInputStream(argv[0]));

else

reader = new InputStreamReader(System.in);

// create the tokenizer:
tokens = new StreamTokenizer(reader);
tokens.ordinaryChar('.');
tokens.ordinaryChar('-');
tokens.ordinaryChar('/');

// advance to the first token on the input:
getToken();

// check if expression:
expr();

// check if expression ends with ';'
if (token == (int)';')
System.out.println("Syntax ok");
else
System.out.println("Syntax error");
}

// getToken - advance to the next token on the input
private static void getToken() throws IOException
{ token = tokens.nextToken();
}

//expr - parse<expr> -> <term><term_tail>
private static void expr() throws IOException
{ term();
term_tail();

}

// term_tail - parse <term_tail> -> <add_op> <term> <term_tail> | Empty
private static void term_tail() throws IOException
{ if (token == (int)'+' || token == (int)'-')
{ add_op();
term();
term_tail();
}
}

// term - parse <term> -> <factor> <factor_tail>
private static void term() throws IOException
{factor();
factor_tail();
}

// factor_tail - parse <factor_tail> -> <mult_op> <factor> <factor_tail> | Empty
private static void factor_tail() throws IOException
{if (token == (int) '*' || token == (int) '/')
 {mult_op();
 factor();
 factor_tail();
 }
}

// factor - parse <factor> -> '(' <expr> ')' | '-' <expr> | number | identifier
private static void factor() throws IOException
{ if (token == (int)'(' )
{ getToken();
expr();
if (token == (int)')' )
getToken();
else System.out.println("closing ')' expected");
}
else if (token == (int)'-')
{ getToken();
factor();
}
else if (token == tokens.TT_NUMBER)
getToken();
else if (token == tokens.TT_WORD)
getToken();
else System.out.println("factor expected");
}

// add_op - parse <add_op> -> '+' | '-'
private static void add_op() throws IOException
{ if (token == (int)'+' || token == (int)'-')
getToken();
}

// mult_op - parse <mult_op> -> '*' | '/'
private static void mult_op() throws IOException
{ if (token == (int)'*' || token == (int)'/')
getToken();
}
}

Sorry what was your question? It seems to have been chopped because of the lack of spaces in it...

The current program reads in an expression and verify by the grammar rules that the syntax is ok or not ok. I need to implement a lexical analyzer that reads in a expression and outputs all the tokens of the expression and the token kinds.

Yes, but that still isn't a question, it is a project description. In order to help you without doing your project for you, we need to know specifics about what you're having trouble with, where in the code, what you've attempted, what isn't working, etc. "What isn't working" is usually one pat of your pseudocode, not the entire thing.
