[antlr-interest] Seeking advice - 2 questions using ANTLR

[Frank Font]

Hello,

I purchased the book, read through it, but I have a thick skull.  
Perhaps I can get some advice here on two questions about converting 
formula expressions that look like "basic" syntax...

IF REP_DTE > '2001-01-01' AND ATOTAL>100 THEN
    H-CAPRESTATE
ELSE
    IF REP_DTE < '2001-01-01' THEN
        ACCTG_CNG + ACCTG_ERR_CRCT
    END IF
END IF

Into a flat format that looks like Excel formula syntax...

IF( AND(REP_DTE > '2001-01-01',ATOTAL>100), H-CAPRESTATE, IF(REP_DTE < 
'2001-01-01', ACCTG_CNG + ACCTG_ERR_CRCT)

I tried writing a few grammar files, but all have had various runtime 
issues.

Here are my questions...

1.  Is ANTLR the right tool for this job?  (I don't have much time.)
2.  If it is the right tool, is there already a grammar that will get me 
most of the way there?

Thanks in advance for any advice.
