How specify that whitespace should not count?

[Anders Eriksson]

I am doing my first try with GOLD and I'm trying to parse abc music notation.

The grammar has been accepted but when I try to test it with an data file I get an error when the parser finds a space.

In the data file I have this line

X: 1

The grammar for this looks like this (This is just a snippet of the grammar file)

Whitespace    = {WS}+

NewLine       = {CR}{LF} | {CR} | {LF}

StringLiteral = '"' {String Chars}* '"'

Digits        = {digit}+

<comment> ::= '%' StringLiteral NewLine

<end-of-line> ::= <comment> | NewLine 

<field-number> ::= 'X:' Digits <end-of-line>

The test log

FAIL : danny_boy.abc

   Result      : Syntax Error

   Column      : 2

   Line        : 0

   Parse Value : {space}

   Description : Expecting one of the following tokens: Digits

How do I make the parser to ignore whitespace between tokens?

Since it's just a snippet, I can only speak to the bits I can see. Don't define a white space terminal. Then white space won't be recognized as a token, and spaces will be ignored. It's the default behavior.
