Hello All,

I hope that this is an appropriate post - if not then please advise.

During the course of my life as a developer I have managed to avoid the need to perform language recognition. I have always wanted to go there but on those few occasions when I made the attempt I was soon defeated by the confusion I experienced when attempting to use the tools that I found (I have managed to maintain my self respect in spite of this). I recently began work on a project that requires the parsing of XPath expressions. Should I code it myself or find a tool? Searching around I became aware of ANTLR and the XPath grammars contributed by the user community. Okay says I, here I go again. It took a little getting used to but in a reasonable  amount of time I was modifying the grammar that I downloaded, viewing the results with ANTLRWorks, producing a corresponding tree grammar and adding code to process the AST. Hurray, hurry, I'm on my way!

I just want to say thank you very much for making it easy for me to enter the world of language recognition.

Best Regards,

Robert
