[antlr-interest] Can I force a token to have precendence in the lexer?

[Andy Hull]

I have the following lexer tokens defined:

I have the following expression "x={1..3};"

I'm expecting the input between the braces to be recognized as FLOAT, AUTO, FLOAT but what I actually get is just a FLOAT  ".3" in the token stream of "x","=","{",".3","}",";"


AUTO  :  '...';

FLOAT
    :   ('0' .. '9')+ '.' ('0' .. '9')+ EXPONENT?
    |   '.' ( '0' .. '9' )+ EXPONENT?
    |   ('0' .. '9')+ EXPONENT
    |   ('0' .. '9')+
    ;

I think the float is matching too much. Can anyone help?

Thanks
