hi all,
my problem is to read-in the data in the form(regex):
[0-9]+'-'[0-9]+[acr]
e.g., : 0-2a 3-4c 6-8r
to obtain:
a a a c c [blank] r r r

Is this better to be solved by 'lex', or directly in C?? Could someone, please, hint???

Big 'Thank You',

Peter.

hand code that part.  it's a bit tricky but not too hard.
i've done it dozens of times (got it right 20 years ago
and use copy/paste).  almost any screwy requirement
is best done by just doing it.  lex has it's land but it will
drive you insane - and in a parallel universe you've
finished the C code.

ken's code is different to mine but i'd copy/paste it
in a second.
