[antlr-interest] Is it possible to pass input without using a ANTLR stream? - UPDATED

[Nicola Musatti]

Hallo, Asha.
You can use an ANTLRStringStream, which takes care of EOF automatically.

See 
http://www.antlr.org/api/Java/classorg_1_1antlr_1_1runtime_1_1_a_n_t_l_r_string_stream.html

Cheers,
Nicola Musatti
