using flex for source-hilighting

[Janus N.]

Dear Sirs,

I've written a flex program that spits out a HTML formatted version of
input in c++. My problem now is that I want to use this lexer to give me
information about each keyword, string, number etc. found. I want the
start and end file positions of the token matched.

Any hint on how I can do this? Or isn't flex capable of this?

Thank you.
