[antlr-interest] New to ANTLR; Problems with the grammar

[Schütz Tomi (KSFC 413)]

Hi there

I would like to parse an XML file and to extract some entity information.

sample.xml:

<!ENTITY commonVerification SYSTEM "../includes/commonVerification.xml">
..

My grammar looks like this...

b.g:

class P extends Parser;

startRule
  : (
      PREFIX n:NAME SYS p:PATH SUFFIX
      {
        System.out.println("("+n.getText()+","+p.getText()+")");
      }
    )+
  ;
    
class L extends Lexer;

PREFIX
  : "<!ENTITY"
  ;

SUFFIX
  : '>'
  ;

NAME
  : (
      'a'..'z' |
      'A'..'Z' |
      '_'
    )+
  ;
    
SYS
  : "SYSTEM"
  ;
        
PATH
  : (
      '"' |
      'a'..'z' |
      'A'..'Z' |
      '.' |
      '/'
    )+
  ;

WS
  : (
      ' ' |
      '\t' |
      '\r' '\n' { newline(); } |
      '\n' { newline(); }
    )
    {$setType(Token.SKIP);} //ignore this token
  ;

I get an error message which I don't understand and I can't find an answer or link which brings me further...

<!ENTITY commonVerification SYSTEM "../includes/commonVerification.xml">
line 1:29: expecting SYS, found 'SYSTEM'

Could anyone point me to the problem? Any hint is very much appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Tomi
