Hello,

I used flex, and bison under Linux.  But how can I handle multiple
input files?  When I follow the examples of the documentation, I fail
to handle tokens after include file.

Example:

PRINT "Before"
SET PROCEDURE TO testproc
PRINT "After"

this is a abstract language, which does (should) open a file called
"testproc".

But I can not handle line 3.
I try to "ftell" the position after testproc,
but get the size of the parser file.

So, now I have no glue, how to fix that.  It would be great, if
someone have a idea, and maybe a short code snippet.

Thanks
Jens
[Flex buffers its input, so you can't just do an ftell().  Use the
yy_create_buffer() and related routines.  If you have a copy of my
book "flex & bison" there's an example of nested include files in
chapter 2. -John]
