[antlr-interest] ANTLRWorks question

[Indhu Bharathi]

Prefer using debugger instead of interpreter. Interpreter doesn't work as
expected sometimes (when you are using semantic predicates).

 

That said, for this particular case it seems to works fine.

 

r              :               STRING

                ;

                

STRING

    :  '"' ( ~('\\'|'"') )* '"'

    ;

 

Are you using semantic predicates somewhere else that causes the interpreter
to fail?

 

BTW, what is the error message you get?

 

Cheers, Indhu

I used the ANTLRWorks wizard to start my grammar.  There appears to be
something wrong with the STRING token, basically something like "Joe" does
not parse correctly in the interpreter.  This is what the rule looks like:

STRING
    :  '"' ( ESC_SEQ | ~('\\'|'"') )* '"'
    ;

What is this supposed to do?  

Thanks,
