[antlr-interest] greedy question

[Pierre Attar]

Hi,

I have some problems understanding lexer recognition.  Here is my need.

Using the following string of characters, (string["using ""quotes"""]), 
I want to extract the content : (using ""quotes"").
I wrote the following rule;

string : 'string["' (options {greedy=false;} : . ) '"]' ;


This works for (string["essai"]) but does not works in my sample 
(string["using ""quotes"""]) and I have a MismachedSetException.

I try many different configurations but do not figure out how to solve 
the string containing quotes.
Is is possible to use the greedy feature in this case or should I 
explore an other antlr recognition feature ?

Any idea are welcome, Pierre
