[ragel-users] Scanner question

[Jose Quinteiro]

I'm trying to write a scanner that accepts "num", "numb", "numbe", etc. 
as the same token.  The only way I can think of that accomplishes this is:

main := |*
                /num/i => number;
                /numb/i => number;
                /numbe/i => number;
                /number/i => number;
        *|;

Is there a better way?

Thanks,
Jose.
