You do not give much hints of what your problems are. Here, one might guess
that you have successfully compiled the .l and .y files using Flex/Bison,
then successfully compiled their output using a C compiler, and when you
then run that program, reading a file with it, it somehow cannot recognize
the full word you expect.

Right?

If so, the problem is that the Flex generated lexer is not reading lexemes
that same way as the one generated by lex, and you need to check the Flex
settings and perhaps grammar and correct for that (unless there is a
problem in the C code).

If this is not the problem, please supply more details of what the problem
is (but not the whole batch, hoping somebody should do your work).
