Hi,

Can anyone tell me how to write terminal String to satisfy below declaration for string

"\9\9\9\9\9\9\9\9\9"

My terminal rule is:

terminal STRING : '"' ( '\\'('"'|('\r'? '\n')) | !('\n'|'"') )* '"' |
"'" ( '\\'("'"|('\r'? '\n')) | !('\n'|"'") )* "'";

are you sure this is a parsing problem and not a missing subclassing STRINGValueConverter problem?

This is parsing problem because if I write string like "\\9\\9\\9\\9\\9\\9\\9" it is parsing without error.

STRING value converters says \9 is an invalid escape sequence.
please debug org.eclipse.xtext.conversion.impl.STRINGValueConverter.convertFromString(String, INode)

Hi,
I have written the below code back slash problem solved. But how replace all with [a-z] solved my problem? I just threw a stone for replace its working

class CustomTerminalConverters extends DefaultTerminalConverters {
@Inject
private STRINGValueConverter stringValueConverter;

@ValueConverter(rule = "STRING")
override IValueConverter<String> STRING() {
return stringValueConverter;
}
}
class STRINGValueConverter extends AbstractLexerBasedConverter<String> {

override toValue(String string, INode node) throws ValueConverterException {
println("String value converter is called::::::::::::::::::"+node+" :::: "+string)
return string.replaceAll("[a-z]", "");
}

}

simply subclass STRINGValueConverter and add a binding for STRINGValueConverter to your subclass should be enhough

i dont get your point

Xtext will call the STRINGValueConverter that is injected into DefaultValueConverterService thus you can subclass STRINGValueConverter

public class MySTRINGValueConverter extends STRINGValueConverter {
	
	@Override
	protected String convertFromString(String literal, INode node) throws ValueConverterWithValueException {
		// FIX impl here e.g. by copy paste adapt super impl
		return super.convertFromString(literal, node);
	}
	
	@Override
	protected String toEscapedString(String value) {
		// FIX impl here e.g. by copy paste adapt super impl
		return super.toEscapedString(value);
	}

}

and simply add a binding as you do it for 10000 stuff as well

    def Class<? extends STRINGValueConverter> bindSTRINGValueConverter() {
    	return MySTRINGValueConverter;
    }
