Hi Phil

Thanks for the reply.

The documentation for yy_scan_string says that the switching of the buffer
will be done by yy_scan_string itself and I verified that same in the code. 

http://flex.sourceforge.net/manual/Multiple-Input-Buffers.html#index-yy_005fscan_005fstring-210

I though if it works for you then why not give it a try but unfortunately it
didn't work. I read some where that I will have to set the initial state for
the lexer, not sure what that means.

Thanks
