[antlr-interest] grammar question

[Harsh Deshmane]

Hi,

I have a simple grammar question-

for spice syntax, a transistor is defined as

Mname term1 term2 term3 term4 

name can be 


NAME_IDENTIFIER
        options {testLiterals=true; }
        :
        ('0'..'9'|'a'..'z'|'_'| '$' |'#'|'[' |']'|'%'|'+'|'-'|'/'|'<'|'>')+
        ;

(LT(1)->getColumn() == 1) "M" gives me token at the first column ?
However, if I try to specify

M<name> by

"M"(NAME_IDENTIFIER)+
or
"M"(STRING)+
or
(M(STRING)+)

or any such construct, I get the parser expecting M to be the first token
and then followed by the STRING or IDENTIFIER as the second token.

How can I define "M<anything>" ?

For my case,
syntax like
M term1 term2 term3 term4

passes, but I need
Mname term1 ..
 to pass.

thanks,
