Re: Parse part of content (ignore/skip ALL until known tokens are found)

The way javacc works is that it needs to "understand" everything in the
input, so that leaves 2 choices: - define in some way the random content,
with some switch or other to identify the beginning of the known content,
often by defining a token to indicate the start of the part you want to
keep, and switching lexical states when it's found, and back when it's done,
and another token ~[] to soak up the rest one character at a time.
 - use some other method to extract the known part and hand it off alone to
a javacc parser that only needs to understand that.
