Hi All,
ANTLR grammar acts funny when it encounters a TOKEN in a String. How should
I make the ANTLR escape the letter found in the String is not a TOKEN.
Help will be appreciated.
Thanks

Example
text_content.txt
funny boys are Tom Hardy Donald
serious guys are not funny either
grammar
options {
    language=Java;
    k=1;
}
start
  : 'funny' call_funny_parse
  | 'serious' call_serious_parse
  ;
call_funny_parse
@init {
  ArrayList<String> person = new ArrayList<String>(); //this should contain
Tom Hardy Donald
}
  : jackT=TOKEN    //boys
    macT=TOKEN   //are
    (nextPersonT=TOKEN { person.add($nextPersonT.text); })* // Tom Hardy
Donald
  ;
call_serious_parse
@init {
  String line = "";
}
  : (stringT=TOKEN { line = line + $stringT.text; })* // This is where is
fails and says 'funny' is expecting something else
