xText: any text rule [message #375966]

Hi.

I have read short documentation on xText framework, server-side article
and have seen screen casts.

But I have not found answer on following question.

Is there is any possibility to create rule "Any text"?

In my model domain text to be analyzed is arbitrary but I need to
proceed in some logic way text fragments like

{action name='my_name'}

So for me it doesn't matter what text is before and after.
For example of text:


#sdfsdf
*dddd {action name='my_name1'} 090909
*dddd {action name='my_name2'} 090909


The only interesting parts for me are

{action name='my_name1'}
{action name='my_name2'}

Is there is some built-in rule/token like ANY_TEXT?

If there is no such rule could you help me to prototype xText grammar
for such language?

Thanks in advance.

Ilya

Hi Ilya,

sorry for the late reply.

We'll release a new version of oaw before the EclipseCon (I think mid to
end next week)

In the new release we ported the grammar from ANTLR 2 to 3 and added
some features. The new version is backward compatible.

With the current version you can't solve your problem.
With the new version you can :-)

It'll be possible to specify a 'NativeLexerRule'. In there you'll be
able to write your own rule in Antlr format.

The syntax will look like this:
'NativeLexerRule' ruleName ':' STRING ';'

Hope that helps.

Best regards,

Bernd

It's very cool that I'll be able to create Antlr rules!

BTW, will docs/tutorials be upgraded in short terms?

Thanks

Ilya

Hopefully. As soon as we find the time. We are always grateful for help ;-)

Hi Bernd,

3 weeks passed since your reply but there is no new oaw release.

Could I ask you when it will be released?

Thanks

Ilya
