Hi,


I have a rule in my lexer to skip shell-like comments:


#.*$ /* skip comments */


which works just fine if there is \n at the end of the line.
If the comment is in the last line wich is terminated by EOF the rule
obviously fails.


I tried something like:


#.*<<EOF>>


but flex complains about an "unrecognized rule". Any hint?


Many thanks,
Matteo

reading code to stuff in a \n at the end of the file. -John]
