[antlr-interest] Match until "<@"

[praveen_c]

Hi all,

Just wondering what is wrong with the following Lexer rule. I'm 
trying to match all characters until reach the combination "<@" 
including white space, new lines...everything.

MULTI_LINE_TEXT: ( options { greedy=false; } : .)* (~("<@"));

It gives me wierd errors. Is this the right way to specify when I 
want to have something matched until I see a combination. If you 
think there is a better way, please let me know.

Thanks in advance for any help,
Praveen.
