[antlr-interest] token position defined by lexer

[Michiel Vermandel]

Hi,

In my lexer I have the following rule:

QUOTED_STRING
    : 
      '\''! ( WS | "\'\'" | ~('\'') )* '\''!
    ;

So the lexer does not return the quotes, just the string text.

I do get the AST tree without the quotes but the column position of the 
string is a bit strange, I think.

If I have the following text:

Hello 'world'

then I get the lexer token world at column 7 instead of 8.
So the quote gets removed but the column position of the token is not 
shifted by 1.

Is there some way to work around this?

Thanks
