Re: Is there a way make the lex program match multiple line?

I rewrite, and I think the [']([^']|\n)['] should be [']([^']|\n)+[']

Thanks very much!

You should check the flex manual, but it's likely that "." doesn't
match newline.  Another problem with this pattern is that "."
*does* match "'", so it's ambiguous what will happen with quotes.
You probably need something closer to [']([^']|\n)[']
