[antlr-interest] Unexpected Token dearly expected...

[Chantal Ackermann]

Hello Kay, hello Dominik, hello all,

thanks for your help!
Case sensitivity really was the problem, oh my...

actually, I do normalize the input to lowercase and break up the 
"umlaute", but I did comment the line where I set caseSensitive=false. 
I did specify all the other tokens in lowercase, and obviously I forgot 
about that while playing around with new expressions...
I might just remove the comment at caseSensitive=false, but I think I 
had some reason to put it there even though I can't remember it 
anymore. So for now I just changed "Stunden" to "stunden". ;-D
Ok, thanks a lot, in any case. This was just the stupid mistake I 
suspected I'd have missed.

As the problem was the uppercase letter in "Stunden" this would not 
have solved the problem. But it's always good to have some neat example 
code to get some inspiration from. :-)

Thanks again for your help!
Enjoy your Christmas Holidays!
