I want to replace a token using ANTLR.

I tried with TokenRewriteStream and replace, but it didn't work.

Any suggestions?

  ANTLRStringStream in = new ANTLRStringStream(source);
  MyLexer lexer = new MyLexer(in);
  TokenRewriteStream tokens = new TokenRewriteStream(lexer);
  for(Object obj : tokens.getTokens()) {
     CommonToken token = (CommonToken)obj;  
     tokens.replace(token, "replacement");
  }

The lexer finds all occurences of single-line comments, and i want to replace them in the original source too.
