	Hi!

    There has been some discussion about a MATLAB grammar a while ago:

http://www.antlr.org/pipermail/antlr-interest/2002-May/001041.html

Does anybody know if these efforts have been finished? If not, I'm considering 
to write a MATLAB grammar from scratch. Most of it should be easy, although 
there is one problem I'm not sure how to deal with. The matrix transposition 
operator and string literal delimiter share the same character (a single 
apostrophe '), i.e.,

A'   means matrix A transposed, while
'A'   means string literal with value A.

Can these be distinguished by context (the transposition operator may occur 
only after a matrix expression, while the string literal may only be an 
operand to an expression)? Any hint is appreciated!

	Thanks & kind regards,
		Markus
