[antlr-interest] (no subject)

[Mark Darnell]

I have a requirement to parse a text report in the following format:

SUBJ:  <<report subject>>
A. <<report_type>>/YY/NNNNN/NNNN
B. YYMMDD/HHMM:SS
C. <<field1>>/<<field2>>
D. <<line#>>/<<field3>>/<<field4>>/<<field5>>/<<field6>>
   <<line#>>/<<field3>>/<<field4>>/<<field5>>/<<field6>>
 <<some text would go here>>
E. <<some text would go here>>

I was wondering if ANTLR would be a help in parsing this type of text
file. I need to get the items marked as fields into an XML file that is
later parsed by another system.

If ANTLR is a good fit, could you point me to some examples of writing a
grammar for text file parsing?
