Ok, I'll take a look and see what I can do. > The positions are as follows: > 1. index of first character for node > 2. index of last character for node > 3. start line for node > 4. end line for node > > Just guessing I think startIndex should be 32 and endIndex should > be 46 (maybe 47 if we include newline in there or not). That's what I expected, too. For our project we have to rely on correct positions (or have to create a workaround for the wrong ones), because we'd like to reconstruct the sourcefile from the AST. Well, that's what we wish we could do, we aren't sure if it's possible without losing too much information from the original file. And by the way, am I right that comments aren't in the AST? Because that's the next thing that gives me a headache :) Thanks! Mirko
