Hi,
you can have your Lexer return a token on line endings, e.g.
LINEENDING:
  '\n';
and then just match that token in your rule. Or you can of course use
regular expressions ... ;-)

Not necessarily about this, but I really have the impression that many
people who are asking questions on this list would probably be better
off with some regular expressions ...
