Comment recognition in Lex, agai - (nf)

[Steven M. Kramer]

I had used lex a few years ago and needed (actually wanted) to implement
comments.  I made a special comment state to do it in.   Otherwise, if
you try to match a comment in 1 rule, large comments will blow away the
buffer.  I had no trouble in making a separate state for comments.
Where's the beef?
