Hi everyone,


I'm writing a lexer using JLex. I need to read a list of string as a
SINGLE token:


for example:
"inter_bioscreen_s" "inter_bioscreen_n" "inter_bioscreen_n_300"


a sequence like this should be a single token. i defined a string as
str=\"[^\"\n]*\"


but when i use {str}+ it doesn't do what i expect, ie. read one or more
sequence of strings


Any suggestions would be great


thanks
