[antlr-interest] Help with lexical nondeterminism.

[Phil Ritchie]

I have a file format thus:
 
----- START -----
----- END -----
 
I have successfully created a grammar and application that can parse this format. But if my file format becomes:
 
----- START -----
any Unicode character - i.e. ('\u0000'..'\uffff')+
----- END -----
 
I enter all kinds of nondeterminism. Could someone point me at a way of handling this? I can understand that my problem lies in not having a unique sequence that differentiates general text and the END banner.
