[antlr-interest] Space in values (need more info)

[DELZANT Bruno (BMB)]

Thanks for the help, but ... I don't see what you mean :-/ I have read
the part on string in the user guide, but I don't see what's the help of
this.
I'll try perhaps with a simpler example of what I want to achieve:
Need to parse the following input:

PRIORITY = "3"
REQ_USER_ID = "PTS JDA"
REQ_PROC_ID = "process"

As you can see, there is a space in second quoted string.
With the following grammar, I am getting stuck on that space.
How can I improve the grammar to detect space in this quoted string and
get back the value ?


  _____  

header {package test;}
class MyParser extends Parser;

 
entries: (entry)+ ;
  
entry:  a:ALPHA_NUM_STRING EQUAL QUOTE b:ALPHA_NUM_STRING QUOTE
     { System.out.println(a.getText() + " - " + b.getText()); };
 
class MyLexer extends Lexer;
 
ALPHA_NUM_STRING
  :  ( 'a'..'z' | 'A'..'Z' | '0'..'9' | '_' | '.' )+ ;
 
QUOTE: '\"' ;
 
EQUAL: '=';  
  
WS:   ( ' ' | '\t'
    | '\r' '\n' { newline(); }
        |   '\n'      { newline(); }
        ) {$setType(Token.SKIP);} ;

Output of the program I ran with this grammar and input:
PRIORITY - 3
line 2:20: expecting QUOTE, found 'JDA'
REQ_PROC_ID - process
