Re: newbie question

Hi,
You can do both of them. If you use yylex() with yyin (containing a 
stream) you can parse the whole file.
Else you can use C functions as fgets() to get a line of you text and 
then use yy_scan_string() to parse it.
The best way to find answers is to read the man pages, since there are 
not a lot of examples on the web, it is well explained though.
