Hi,
i want identifiers that can contain whitespace.
|grammar WhitespaceInSymbols;
premise : ( options {greedy=false;} : 'IF' ) id=ID{
System.out.println($id.text);
};
ID : ('a'..'z'|'A'..'Z')+ (' '('a'..'z'|'A'..'Z')+)*
;
WS : ' '+ {skip();}
;
|
When i test this with "IF statement analyzed" i get a
MissingTokenException and the output "IF statement analyzed".
I thought, that by using greedy=false i could tell ANTLR to exit afer
'IF' and take it as a token. But instead the IF is part of the ID. Is
there a way to achieve my goal? I already tried some variations of the
greed=false-option, but without success.
Thanks in advance!
