File I/O with lex/yacc

[Gary L Dare]

Is there any way to get around the use of standard input/output in a
lex file???  The C file generated by lex (from the lexical analyzer
spec you feed in) has the following line hard-coded:

	FILE *yyin = {stdin}, *yyout = {stdout};

however, there doesn't seem to be a way to sneak in a redefinition of
yyin or yyout as a pointer to a file (a single, in-line statement)
except by hand, 'cos a switch{} is generated in C from the lexical
analysis rules.

Is there any way to force a single, inline statement into the C
file generated by lex, other than by hand?
