Re: YACC and yyerror

i would like to know how i can continue scanning my file after it has
detected a syntax error. I have yyerror which is called when an error
is found

That is not quite true. Yacc uses an error token. You can define rules
containing this
token to recover from errors. AFAIK, it depends on the yacc version
(yacc, byacc, bison).
Have a look at
