You could use a 'validating semantic predicate'. A small demo:
*grammar Test;*
*
*
*parse*
* : line+ EOF*
* ;*
*
*
*line*
* : n=number {int c = $n.value;} (number {--c;})* {c==0}? LineBreak*
* ;*
*
*
*number returns [int value]*
* : Int {$value = Integer.parseInt($Int.text);}*
* ;*
* *
*Int*
* : '0'..'9'+ *
* ;*
*
*
*LineBreak*
* : '\r'? '\n'*
* | '\r'*
* ;*
* *
*Space*
* : (' ' | '\t') {skip();}*
* ;*
