[antlr-interest] Parsing a file

[Yuri Tijerino]

Well, suppose it does.  It is just an example for my question. Or if 
your prefer you can change this definition to:

HOURNUM : '0'..'9' | '1' '0'..'2' ;

I remember something in one of Terrence's blog a while back where he 
used something like:

decl (';' decl)*

in the main rule instead of

decl+

together with a catch statement for  NoViableAltException.  But I think 
I had to declare an ListArray with all the possible stop tokens.  
However this didn't work in my case becase I don't have anything that 
corresponds to a  ';' in between statements.

What I really want is change the default behavior and throw away the 
tokens that cause the exception and continue parsing the input after 
those tokens as if it was a new input.  Is this even possible? Terrence?
