[antlr-interest] Dot won't match forward slash

[Ben Dotte]

Hi,

I have a parser rule in my ANTLR 3 grammar like this:

quotedSearch : '"'^ .+ '"'! ;

The strange thing is, forward slashes result in a "no viable
alternative at character'/'" exception and get thrown out of the
resultant tree. I don't seem to have any problems with other
characters like \()[]* etc.

Is there something special about forward slashes or could there be any
reason for this error?

Thanks,
Ben
