[antlr-interest] A problem with EOF.

[prashantdeva]

I am trying to give Antlr a null terminated string to parse using a
StringReader. Something like-

String text;
....
StringReader reader = new StringReader(text);

But now when the end of the string is reached, Antlr wants a EOF
instead of a null, so it throws an exception saying 'unexpected token
found : null'.

Is there any way i can Antlr to look for a null instead of EOF as the
terminating character so that it doesnt throw the exception everytime?

Of course i can catch the exception everytime, but i need to parse
VERY frequently and exceptions thrown can prove very expensive.
