Re: [Grammatica-users] Comment lines starts with '*'

[Per Cederberg]

Hi,

Yes, this is problem. Currently it is not possible to do in a
good way, as the regular expression interpreter in Grammatica
lacks support for ^ and $... What you can do, however, is a
dirty little trick:

    parser.parse("\n" + inputString);

If your grammar ignores additional newlines, this will work
perfectly. There is an old outstanding bug on this, #3597:

https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/index.php?func=detailitem&item_id=3597

I've raised it's priority so that it'll be fixed by the next
release. (Which, by the way, I should start working on any
month now... ;-)

Cheers,

/Per
