Re: token value return in custom yylex()

[Nils Hasler]

hi bernd.

you need some check for end-of-string in your for()-loop. the easiest 
would be somthing like:

  for (i = 0; clone[0] && (strchr(delimiters, clone[0])==NULL); i++) {
     if (clone[0] == '\\') {   // escape next character
       clone++;
     }
     yytext[i] = clone[0];
     clone++;
  }

the (i < length) construct doesn't work, because you increase the 
base-pointer (clone) without reducing the length. the other solution to 
your problem would be to --length whereever you ++clone.
