lexer

I am trying to do basic ANTLR-based scanning. I have a problem with a lexer not matching wanted tokens.

lexer grammar DefaultLexer;

ALPHANUM    :   (LETTER | DIGIT)+;
ACRONYM     :   LETTER '.' (LETTER '.')+;
HOST        :   ALPHANUM (('.' | '-') ALPHANUM)+;

fragment
LETTER  :   UNICODE_CLASS_LL | UNICODE_CLASS_LM | UNICODE_CLASS_LO | UNICODE_CLASS_LT | UNICODE_CLASS_LU;

fragment
DIGIT   :   UNICODE_CLASS_ND | UNICODE_CLASS_NL;

For the grammar above, hello. world string given as an input results in world only. Whereas I would expect to get both hello and world. What am I missing? Thanks.

Hi, Antlr3 does not generate Mylexer.java. I use AntlrWorks... when I have grammar starting like grammar mylexer; It does generate myParser.java It looks like a simple thing.. I wonder what may be the reason.. and the solution... I get no error message. >>> More
