[ragel-users] How to distinguish between two machines from within the same action?

[Adrian Thurston]

You're using from-state actions, which isn't going to give you the 
desired results. Use > and % instead, then go from there. If you use %* 
on digits, it will execute on every character since the final state is 
going back into itself to implement the repetition.

Remember that graphviz will help you immensely with debugging. You can 
look at the result of compiling specific rules in your grammar.

Should I be using "State Action Embedding Operators"? Actually, scratch that: it seems that's what I should be doing, because I managed to recognize the host in some cases. For the first URL above, I can recognize most of the port: I end up with 123, not 1234, thus losing the last character.
