I have been using the following win32 console code to try to parse a B Machine Grammar embedded within C++ using Boost Spirit grammar template. I am a relatively new Boost user. The code compiles, but when I run the .exe file produced by VC++2008, the program partially parses the input file. I believe the problem is with my grammar definition or the functions attached as semantic atctions.
The code is given below:
// BIFAnalyser.cpp : Defines the entry point for the console application.

The contents of the file I tried to parse, which I named "mf7.txt" is given below:
debt:=(LoanRequest+outstandingLoan1)*20 || newDebt := loanammount-paidammount
The output when I execute the program is:
************************************************************
...Machine Parser...
************************************************************
Please enter a filename...or [q or Q] to quit:
c:\tplat\mf7.txt
PUSH(LoanRequest)
PUSH(outstandingLoan1)

LoanRequest outstandingLoan1
MULTIPLY
LoanRequest outstandingLoan1
PUSH(debt:=(LoanRequest+outstandingLoan1)*20)
...

SIMPLE SUBSTITUTION
Tokens ... debt
Tokens ... LoanRequest
Tokens ... outstandingLoan1
Tokens ... 20
Tokens ... END
PUSH(debt:=(LoanRequest+outstandingLoan1)*20)

My intention is to capture only the variables in the file, which I managed to do up to the "||" string. Clearly, the program is not parsing beyond the "||" string in the input file. I will appreciate assistance to fix the grammar. SOS, please.
