I am writing a parser with lex. I have some problems:
In the definition section I define a whole bunch of stuff and I also
used them to define other things.
So I have
X [something]
and I want Y to be anything but X so when I define it like:
Y [^{X}] it only exclude the characters '{' , '}' ,and X
I can't find a way to exclude the definitions and use them in
other definitions.


Also I'm trying to set rules for Oct, but lex doesn't let me logical ORs them
together. and I can't do ranging either ([\001-\006])
any Idea how to parse text with Oct?


Thanks,


~Mina
