[antlr-interest] Strangeness when parsing strings and spaces

Hi,

Thanks, that works perfectly.  I thought that there was a way to
achieve this through the lexer/tokenization process without resorting
to code fragments - I recall seeing something similar but cannot find
where I saw it in my history :(

A further question which I cannot find the answer too:

What is the difference between 'a'..'z'+ and ('a'..'z')+ ??

Thanks,
Kev
