Hi,

I'm new to XText, I have some previous experience with grammars Rascal (maybe you know about it, maybe you don't). But in both environments I cannot solve the following problem, maybe you can help me solve this for XText:

I have a CSV file, but with a certain line, the separator can change to whatever character. Example (you can also escape the separator):

a,b,c,list;with;values
a,b,c,list\,with\,values
@separator,;
a;b;c;list,with,values
a;b;c;list\;with\;values

How do I model that? Thanks for helping!
