I have not used it directly, but have used the concepts of Definite Finite Automata in programming CISCO VOIP applications in Tcl. There is no other way on those boxes that I know of. You setup states, define transitions on certain inputs and run commands as part of those transitions. Hope this helps.

This is basically theoretical computer science, findings and conclusions from which help make programs that can be used in real life. A lot of parsers and compilers use principles that you will come across in this subject. Languages now-a-days depend heavily on pattern matching, which is accomplished using regular expressions. These theories lie at the heart of it. More info: http://infolab.stanford.edu/~ullman/ialc.html
