Note that the '!' is a valid operator inside your grammar, ANTLR just
assumes that you're building trees. So, you're not doing anything wrong.
But, yes, a warning with the line number of the improper use of rewrite
operators would be nice.

The error message is telling that your FILE_NAME is ambiguous. When matching
one or more characters from:

~('|' | '<' | '>' | '*' | '?')+

then line breaks will also be matched, yet after that, the following could
be matched:

('\r'? '\n')

which has already been "eaten" by the previous part of your rule. You could
fix that by adding line breaks to that first part of your rule, like this:

FILE_NAME    :  ~('|' | '<' | '>' | '*' | '?'| '\r' | '\n')+ (('\r'? '\n') |
EOF);
