[erlang-questions] Question of yecc

[Solomon]

I want to write a parser to parse the string like this:
  a.id = b.id
  a.id = 10

My yrl file like this:
Nonterminals
    val expr alias field.

Terminals
    '=' '>' '>=' '<=' '<' '!=' '.' 'atom'
    'num'.

Rootsymbol
    expr.

expr->val '=' val:['$1', '$3', {'opt', '='}].
expr->val '>' val:['$1', '$3', {'opt', '>'}].
expr->val '>=' val:['$1', '$3', {'opt', '>='}].
expr->val '<' val:['$1', '$3', {'opt', '<'}].
expr->val '<=' val:['$1', '$3', {'opt', '<='}].
expr->val '!=' val:['$1', '$3', {'opt', '!='}].

val->alias '.' field:{'$1', '$3'}.
val->num:{'num', '$1'}.

alias->atom:{'alias', '$1'}.
field->atom:{'field', '$1'}.

it is ok for "a.id=b.id":
{ok,[{{alias,{atom,1,a}},{field,{atom,1,id}}},
     {{alias,{atom,1,b}},{field,{atom,1,id}}},
     {opt,'='}]}

and it is ok for "a.id=b":
{ok,[{{alias,{atom,1,a}},{field,{atom,1,id}}},
     {num,{atom,1,a}},
     {opt,'='}]}

but it error for "a.id=12":
{error,{1,my_parser,["syntax error before: ","12"]}}

what is wrong with my yrl file?

Hi,

I think the problem is that yecc does not recognize the terminal 'num'.
The default scanner recognizes 'integer' and 'float'.
Change your 'num' for 'integer' and try again.

Best,
Álvaro

Thanks, you are right. Maybe I should try to write a xrl file to do the lexical analysis.
