Hi all,
I need to match patterns like this
List "el1,el2,el3"
Trying something like this
ListRule:
'List' '"' values+=ID (',' values+=ID)* '"'
compile just fine but nothing is matched in the actual DSL file
Does it mess with STRING terminal (which I need too)?
Any suggestion?
Thanks,
Ste

Yes. Your String terminal will eat the entire string. You will never get
a token for double quote '"'.
A good solution depends on other constructs in your language. You can
try to do this with a data rule (and not have a STRING token), or create
an external lexer. In this lexer you need to keep track of the "previous
interesting token" and then take alternative action.
The difficulty with the datarule is how to specify a good string rule
without ending up with a very complex rule that slows down parsing and
creates a huge node tree.
I have similar things I need to handle in support for the puppet
language. You can look at my implementation at cloudsmith/geppetto @
github (lexer/PPLexer.g) in the o.cloudsmith.geppetto.pp.dsl project.
Hope this helps.
