[antlr-interest] Another simple case (of confusion)

Face-palm time! I didn't have a parser rule, only lexer rules. Silly me. 
I made up a quick rule as follows:

bin_assign : FLOAT_ID '=' BIN_VALUE ;

And now when I run the interpreter, I get that as a valid statement if 
all is well, and I'm not sure what when there are dots and other 
non-binary digits in the input:

fred = %1010.9 results in a tree as follows in the diagram:

Grammar T
     |
  bin_assign
   |   |   |
fred  =  %1010


So, it seems, at the moment, to be Ignoring the invalid characters. 
Running in the debugger gives me Java conmpilation errors - a missing 
semi-colon somewhere in the lexer.

Not to worry, I'm on holiday in 30 mins until the New Year. I'll worry 
about it then.

Thanks for your help.


Happy Christmas everyone. (Insert appropriate festival of choice here of 
course!)


Cheers,
Norm.
