[Flex-help] Handle NULL-NULL in input stream.

[Allen B. <Al...@ep...>]

Is there a way to get the parser to handle more than one consecutive NULL in the input stream?

Currently the parser generated by flex recognizes the consecutive NULLs as an EOF which I do not want,
I would like to be able to tell the parser when the end of file is reached explicitly through one of my rules calling yyterminate().

For instance say I had a blob of binary data in my input file that may contain a sequence of NULL characters.
Luckily I know the length of the binary data because the preceding token contains the following binary length.
With this information is it possible to tell the parser, move forward by N bytes and not scan them?
