Hello!
I have a type Freedom,


For example we have an ordinary type ;

Freedom: ID ;

terminal ID : '^'?('a'..'z'|'A'..'Z'|'_'|'.') ('a'..'z'|'A'..'Z'|'_'|'0'..'9')* ;

I want to allow any character for this type, is there any easy way to do that?

Hi,

check out the ANY_OTHER terminal rule in the default grammar.

Hi,

it should be terminal ANY_OTHER : . ;
If no other rule terminal rule matches, ANY_OTHER will match as the dot is a wild card. And you use this terminal rule as any other terminal rule. (non-working illustration)

MyString: (ID|STRING|ANY_OTHER)*;
