[ragel-users] Re: Help with extracting a list of numbers

[Manoj Rajagopalan]

Hi Adrian

    The detection works only when I enter a space at the end. And yes, 
the terminating 0 is being sent. Hope this isn't a bug. Maybe I'm 
missing something really simple.

    I'm using Ragel 6.0 on Fedora 8.

    BTW, I'm attaching a small C++ program if anyone would like to run it.

    In the program, it prints out the ending character (*pe) and 
confirms that it is '\0'. Should 'pe' point to the last char or to one 
past it, i.e., is the character range [p,pe] or [p, pe) ?

    In one place in the manual I see p+strlen(buf) (fig 5.1, pg 36) 
whereas in another I see p+strlen(buf)+1 (pg 6)
