Hi,
I am writing a (very simple) grammar using EMF with the following specifications:
Each section begins with [KEYWORD] like or
In each section, each line represent an information, for example:
[COORDINATES]
POINT1 N043.57.47.808 W079.45.48.888
POINT2 N043.33.29.999 W079.28.05.401
etc.
There is no closing tag for the sections, each section stops when another one begins.
I had no problem writing this grammar, except for the [DESCRIPTION] section which is quite particular.
Indeed, each line represent a specific attribute, sometimes with blank characters. Here is an example:
[DESCRIPTION]
A full description with spaces...
A_LONG_ID
A_SHORT_ID
N043.40.37.800
W079.37.49.800
800
579
10.00000000
13.33333300
Is there any way for me to match the lines one by one here, i mean I'd like to match the first line in a single string, but I cannot find the way. I made some researches, but it seams not possible ~~
Any adea?

How do you know where the description text ends?
Use a Datarule - something like this:
Documentation
: 'DESCRIPTION' text = DescriptionText
;
DescriptionText hidden()
: ( WS
| SL_COMMENT | ML_COMMENT
| ID | STRING | INT
| ANY_OTHER
| KW1 | ... | KWn)*
;
Naturally, you need to not include the keywords and terminals that break
the description text. It is tricky if something like 'POINT' should
break the description, as the user can then not write the word 'POINT' i
the description.
Or solve this with an external lexer that more efficiently can collect
all of the text into one token. (This requires that the end of the
description text is easy to detect lexically).
