[ragel-users] For very basic XML tokenizing, do I really need Ragel's full scanner functionality?

[Seamus Abshere]

Nate,

Thanks! You made me realize I was asking a simpler and more general 
question. I updated 
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6274424/for-very-basic-tokenizing-do-i-really-need-ragels-full-scanner-functionality

Everybody,

I realized that asking about XML tokenizing was a red herring, because 
what I'm doing is not specific to XML. It's like asking how to tokenize

> The quick brown STARTANIMALfoxSTOPANIMAL jumps over the lazy STARTANIMALdogSTOPANIMAL and other stories

into (note that we want the STARTANIMAL stuff)

> token 1: STARTANIMALfoxSTOPANIMAL
> token 2: STARTANIMALdogSTOPANIMAL

Would you write the tokenizer using ()* instead of |**|?

Best,
Seamus
