This looks like the book you need: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compilers:_Principles,_Techniques,_and_Tools Surprisingly, I've never read it (SICP too 😂), but it's regarded by many as an essential book on the topic.
Also, lexical analysis might seem complex, but when you see how it's done in practice — not so much, there are good examples both in C book and in Go book — not your languages of choice, but they demonstrate that it's not that hard really well.
