Hello,
I'm having lots of fun with PLY and lex - thanks for building it!
I have a problem with a specific section ('table') of the source text
which contains arbitrary data. This data should not be interpreted.
The lexer doesn't stand a chance of making any sense of it. The
beginning and end of the table are well marked, so I can trigger a
state for it.
What's the best method of dealing with such a situation using lex.py?
- just suppress the errors until the table has ended?
- inclusive? exclusive?
- define a new state and a token which matches everything? (lex
doesn't seem to like that, or I'm doing it wrong)
states = (
('top', 'inclusive'),
('rest', 'inclusive'),
('anonymous', 'inclusive'),
)
# the following re is wrong. It is too specific
# I'd say it would have to be something like r".*' but that won't work
t_anonymous_ANONYMOUSDATA = r'a-zA-Z_0-9*.*'
Pardon the noobness of my post, much obliged for any help,
Erik
