title: Unix Flex Regex for Multi-Line Comments
body: <p>I am making a Lexical Analyzer using Flex on Unix. If you've ever used it before you know that you mainly just define the regex for the tokens of whatever language you are writing the Lexical Analyzer for. I am stuck on the final part. I need the correct Regex for multi-line comments that allows something like</p>
  
  <pre><code>/* This is a comment \*/
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but also allows</p>
  
  <pre><code>/* This **** //// is another type of comment */
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Can anyone help with this?</p>
