Hi,
I am negative testing my lexer and finding that it doesn't handle
missing end quotes on literal strings as well as I would like. It
throws a MismatchedTokenException saying that it is expecting end
quote found EOF which is correct but I would like it to say the line/
offset of the starting quote. Is there a way to get this information?
Thanks,
Rob
