Flex beginner question

[yshtil]

I need rule that would capture the rest of the line after a token match:

%x SLURP

identifier [a-zA-Z]+
pluseq \+=
qmarkeq \?=
equals =
restofline [^\n]*

{identifier} {return tok_with_string(IDENTIFIER);}

{pluseq} {BEGIN(SLURP);return tok_with_string(PLUSEQ);}
{qmarkeq} {BEGIN(SLURP);return tok_with_string(QMARKEQ);}
{equals} {BEGIN(SLURP);return tok_with_string(EQUALS);}

<SLURP>restofline {BEGIN(INITIAL);return tok_with_string(RESTOFLINE);}
...

I don't see entering SLURP state in the debug output.

I'm not a programmer but perhaps you could get more help if you offered more details.

I am trying to parse the input like:

foo = rest of the line

foo is captured by identifier, = is captured by equals.
I want to capture all text after =, if I use restofline, it captures
everything. I created a conditional state SLURP which I don't see working.
