Hello all,

I have a bunch of questions about how ANTLR (v3) is lexing it's input stream.  I am continually chasing bugs about how ANTLR lexed some text as one token when I was expecting it to Lex it as another token.

I've checked out this list and elsewhere on the ANTLR.org site for references to lexical analysis and how ANTLR is doing it, but I have not found much.

Specifically, I am trying to understand the order of evaluation of the lexer rules and how ANTLR combines them in order complete the analysis of it's given input.

Thanks in advance for any clues or references.
Greg
