I need to parse some code and convert it to components because I want to make some stats about the code like number of code lines , position of condition statements and so on .
Is there any tool that I can use to fulfill that ?

Antlr is a nice tool that works with many languages, has good documentation and many sample grammars for languages included.
You can also go old-school and use Yacc and Lex (or the GNU versions Bison and Flex), which has pretty good book on generating parsers, as well as the classic dragon book.
It might be overkill, however, and you might just want to use Ruby or even Javascript.
