grammar for ignore string [message #1855515]

FeatureList:
        (elements+=Feature)*;
        
    Feature:
        name= ID';' selection=BooleanConstant ';' *;
    
    BooleanConstant:
        val=BooleanValue;
    
    enum BooleanValue:
        FALSE='FALSE' | TRUE='TRUE';

this is my grammar to parse a file where format is

ActSrv;TRUE;123;
xyz;TRUE;12av;
xyz1;TRUE;abc12;
xyz2;FALSE;123abc;34gh;
xyz3;FALSE;@cb98;xyp;
xyz4;TRUE;;

my requirement is to ignore all string after 2nd ';' or end the matcher and start from new row. but with the current code if there is anything after second column start with string getting stored in new name variable

Hi

Surely this is easily handled by emulating the single line comment?

terminal SL_COMMENT:
'--' !('\n' | '\r')* ('\r'? '\n')?;

You can just use ';' as the comment character.

Hi
thanks for your reply . with the single comment logic its commenting the 2nd column too.

1st column : ActSrv;
2nd column: TRUE;

if i mention ";" as comment character it will comment 2nd column( True) too . but i need to comment every thing after TRUE.

Hi

It should work, but since you don't share your code with us we cannot see if you have done something stupid.

I suggest debugging the traditional SL_COMMENT which works and gradually evolve it to what you want.

Hi

Firstly, since you are replacing SL_COMMENT, you must replace it else run the risk of allowing Xtext's built-in functionality to confuse.

Secondly, the traditional SL_COMMENT as shown in terminal is hidden. As a non-hidden token there may be a different whitespace interaction.

You should start by copying and pasting Terminais.xtext at the top of your grammar, then change the grammar name, then adjust the SL_COMMENT..
