I should have added that the desired outcome is to populate the
contents of a binary file using instructions contained in a separate
text file.


For example, if I have a file test.bin, using the data in the above
email, I want to populate the file at location 0x01C8 (address Key1)
with the data 0xAC,0xE5 ..., according to the SET Key1 instruction.


I am a complete novice on YACC and BISON and any help with the grammar
rules for the parsing the hexadecimal list in the above example is
appreciated.
