Lex Question

[David Shin]

I was wondering if the following was possible in lex.

Let's say we have the following text:

+
A+B+C

Can we generated a rule that looks at the first delimiter token (+) and
use that delimiter to read the rest of the message? The delimiter can
be dynamic meaning it can also be sent like the following and still be
read using the same rule.

*
A*B*C

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

And I'm wondering what made you post a Lex question to comp.lang.c?

Sorry, we discuss C here, not lex.

You might try comp.unix.programmer.

We must do something. This is something. Therefore, we must do this.

Or comp.compilers.
