[antlr-interest] Greedy Lexer

[Mihai Danila]

I have this simple grammar:

expr: token+;
token: And | Number | String;

And: '.AND.';
Number: Digit ;
String: '"' (~('"')*) '"';
fragment Digit: ('0'..'9');


My question: though ANTLR parses "123".AND."45" correctly, it doesn't parse
expressions of the form 123.AND.45 correctly. What is the remedy for this?
(Other than adding spaces in between the tokens.)


Thanks,
Mihai
