Re: yylex and yy_scan_string()

[Nicolas Peyrussie]

Ok, I am now working with the QT library in C++.
It works fine, and it is easier to use for what I want to do (like replacing french accents "é" by 'e').
The problem is that it is much slower than parsing with flex.
So, I first want to  have something that works well and then I will try again with flex and let you know if I found a solution.

Tank you really much for your help

This is my code :

void lex_initFile(char *file)
{  

  yyin =  fopen(file,"r");
  printf("%s\n",file);
  yylex();
}

The problem is that the program stops after the yy_scan_string(), when
I thought it should start again where it had stopped thanks to the
yylex().
    

Each call to yylex returns a single token; it returns zero
at the end of input.

If you want more than one token, you have to call yylex more
than one time.  See any introductory text on lex for details.
