Re: Extending a Parse::RecDescent grammar for inline comments

I would use the SKIP directive - the pattern used to skip text between tokens (whitespace by default). I don't remember the syntax for setting the directive, but setting it to

   /\s*(?:;[^\n]*\n)?/
[download]

should go a long way.

Thanks for the suggestion! Is it possible to do it in a way that I can capture the content of the comment? Ciao! `--bronto` In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.	[reply]

Then it's not a comment at all (i.e. it's meaningful), and you'd match it like anything else (i.e. not use `<skip>`).	[reply] [d/l]

That's what I tried to do, actually, e.g. adding an InlineComment rule, but I failed. Do you know the correct way to do this? Thanks! Ciao! `--bronto` In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.	[reply]
