[antlr-interest] Simple question

[Hill, Robert]

You need to get the Lexer to return 1 token containing all your
characters (probably best calling it a "String" or "CharacterLiteral"
perhaps ;) ) instead of the lexer returning 1 token per char and
building a tree of those single character tokens.

try

>chars	:	CHAR	;
>option buildAST is set to true;

>CHAR	:   ('a'..'z' | 'A'..'Z')+;

Cheers,
Rob
