Hi thanks for your answer and thanks for the warning too. As a newbie
I need and want to learn about parsers. Actually I don't even know if
I'm posting at the right group, unfortunately I didn't found any
information on the web that satisfied my search and that is the reason
of my post. The characters are still 8 bit long and I think they will
remain like that. For your pleasure I had great problems handling
chars and strings under C. I don't know to which question do you refer
but if you could point me to posts that talk about the implementation
(and state machine) of the kind of parser described above I would
kindly appreciate it, have a nice day and best regards
