	If you need to pass a value to 'yacc', then do the following:

	somestring	{
			yylval.sval=(char*)malloc(yyleng);
			strcpy(yylval.sval, yytext);
			return(TOKENNAME);
			}

	someinteger	{
			yylval.ival=atoi(yytext);
			return(TOKENNAME);
			}
	...

	Note that "yyval" is the type defined by "%union ....".
	In the above example, in 'yacc' def,
		%union
			{
			int ival;
			char *sval;
			}

	scan over c code from lex.
