Hello again everybody.

As I mentioned previously, I'm working on implementing the grammar for bash in 
ANTLR w/ the output being an AST, and I've run into the following problem:
In bash, to define a variable, it has to be of the form:

name=value

There can be no spaces around the equals sign (bash is a bit strange about its 
whitespace, which has caused me some fun headaches)
My question is this: if I have:

foo=bar

I'd like the resulting AST to be:

(= foo bar)

However, when I try to implement this as:

arr_var_def2
        :       NAME EQUALS^ NAME;

or anything similar where I try to define all the tokens at once, it doesn't 
parse correctly, I believe because it's parsing "foo=bar" as one token.
However, if I do:

arr_var_def
        : ARR_VAR_DEF;

ARR_VAR_DEF: NAME EQUALS NAME;

It parses correctly (since ARR_VAR_DEF is one token), but I cannot control the 
AST output, and it just outputs it as the one token.

I know about http://antlr.markmail.org, but I'm not exactly sure what to search 
for for this question.

Thank you so much for all the help you have given me thus far.

Nathan
