String rule to support double quotes inside String [message #1795301]

Hello,

I am trying to support double quotes inside string.
STRING terminal rule is not allowing double quotes inside string.
e.g

"THERE SHOULD BE 55 SPACES BETWEEN ""B"" AND ""C""."

Is it possible to achieve this?
Need some suggestion is this regard.

Thanks and regards,
Virag Purnam

how does your string literal look like? did you simply adopt the existing one in the straight forward way?

@Override
terminal STRING:
'"' ( '""' | !('"') )* '"';

p.s.: dont forget to adapt the value converter

Thanks for the reply Mr. Christian Dietrich,

@Override 
terminal STRING 	: 
			('"'!('"')*'"' |
		     "'"!("'")*"'"		
			) 
;

Thanks for the hint. I will try with the rule, which you have proposed.
