For an application I need to implement a token similar to here
documents in bash and perl.
Each token is introduced by a special symbol, and an identifier. The
token is ended by the
start identifier occuring by itself on a line.
Everything after the introducing identifier, and before the
terminating identifier should be copied
verbatim to the generated token.
Like this:
<<ENDRULE
"This should be copied verbatim"
ENDRULE
After this pattern occurs in the input, a token should be generated
with the content "This should be copied verbatim",
and an appropriate token code.
Any ideas, folks, on how to implement this?
