By default, * and + are greedy, _except_ when preceded by the . (DOT).
See: The Definitive ANTLR reference, Ch 4, Extended BNF Subrules, page 86.
But as Jim mentioned, this is not the issue here. The rule:
STRING : '"' ('""' | ~'"')* '"';
matches input like:
"a b "" c"
just fine (as a single STRING).
