[antlr-interest] Spaces in names

[Oti]

Hi,

Vasek recently posted (in the thread 'How to stop lexer reporting
errors to standard output?') an example of an ASCIIStringLiteral which
might get you started:


fragment
StringRun :
       (~ '\'' )+
       ;

ASCIIStringLiteral :
       '\'' { text = ""; }
       ( s = StringRun { text = $s.text; } )? '\''
       ( '\'' {
                       text = text + "\'";
               } ( s = StringRun { text = text + $s.text; } )? '\''
       )*
       ;


best wishes,
Oti.
