In my project,I need override STRING. I'm going to replace double quotes with single quotes.(eg: 'helloworld')
I tried to write a rule, but I failed!
index.php/fa/38803/0/

Can anyone help me ??

Thanks a lot!

the .? makes no sense. its just one char.
is there any reason you don use -> as in the comment rule or just copy the one half of the overriden STRING rule from terminals?

"'" ( '\\' . /* 'b'|'t'|'n'|'f'|'r'|'u'|'"'|"'"|'\\' */ | !('\\'|"'") )* "'

Hi

You partially override builtins by deleting the grammar 'inheritance' from org.eclipse.xtext.common.Terminals.

You can then duplicate as much of org.eclipse.xtext.common.Terminals as you want in your own grammar with whatever changes you feel appropriate.

However this is only a partial override since beware that certain terminal such as ID have built-in functionality.

Regards
