Tim,

I am currently using the Lexical Scanner from glib for my application (the appl converts files written in verilog to xml).

My problem: my scanner scans floating point numbers (for instance 1.22222e-24). It returns G_TOKEN_FLOAT when a floating point number is found. I would like to save the text that has been scanned (and that served to create the value of scanner->value.v_float). Is-there a way to have access to the scanned text?

Thanks,

Laurent

PS: with the automatic conversion str->float I can loose precision (that is bad for my application :-( ) More specifically here is what I am doing to get the text back: txt = g_strdup_printf ("%e",scanner->value.v_float);
