Match Until (not working) [message #1701107] Thu, 09 July 2015 07:30 Go to next message

i'm trying to build a rule to match anything between 2 keywords, but it's not working:

Note: 'note' -> 'end note';

The problem is that terminal rules don't have context, and I need to put other things in the Note rule. Like for example:
Note: 'note' ('as' name=ID) ?
-> /*anything here*/
'end note';

How can I transform this in a terminal rule?

So any ideas to match the text:
note as N1
text from note, any thing is valid...
end note

Taking in account the previous rules mentioned?

what about whitelisting the allowed content?

Any text should be valid here. I can't whitelist infinite possibilities!
It would be nice if rules like ('a'..'z') existed for non terminals.

No i mean something like

Note: 'note' ('as' name=ID) ?
content=Content
'end' 'note';

Content: (ID | INT | "keyword" | "otherkeyword" | STRING | ANY_OTHER)+
