If the license fits with your purpose, you could look at erlide_scan
and erlide_parse -- in the erlide code, of course. They are modified
versions of the respective OTP modules, that return tokens in which
the position is {{line number, offset in file}, token length}. The
textual form of the token is also returned so that there is a
difference between scanning "15" and "16#F".
