Not really, I would suggest buying a book about
lex and yacc (delivered with any UNIX) and write
the 5 pages lex/yacc code. Then let them produce
the 50 pages C code to put into the MUD.

Then you will even get recursion, nested loops,
nested if then else & for's, parenthesis, logical
expressions and arithmetic expression for free
(without additional coding work).

yacc - YetAnotherCompilerCompiler
lex - generator of lexical analysis programs

Program generators are fun - if you know how to use them.
