Flex help anyone ?

[Mike Aubury]

Yes - I know this is a bison list - but someone might know...


I've got to detect strings so I have matches for :

\"[^\"]+\"    {  return CHAR_VALUE;}  
\"\" { return CHAR_VALUE;}




in my flex definition file (or similar at least)
(The first for a string, the second for an empty string)



In the language I'm trying to parse - its permissible to embed quotes within a 
string if you double up..

so :

        "Hello ""World"" would be ok"

Obviously - I'm getting this back as three strings ("Hello " , "World"  & 
"would be ok") which is messing up the parser...


Any ideas ?
