Hi there,

attached archive contains simple parser demonstrating our
problem. untar it, make, make test

Good test:
echo -n 12 34.1234 ... | ./parser
INTEGER:        '12'
CHAR:   ' '
VERSION:        '34.1234'
CHAR:   ' '
DOT:    '.'
DOT:    '.'
DOT:    '.'
Wrong:
echo -n 12 34.1234. ... | ./parser
INTEGER:        '12'
CHAR:   ' '
yyerror: syntax error, unexpected CHAR, expecting INTEGER

The problem is recognizing VERSION
(from gram.y)

version:
        INTEGER DOT INTEGER    { $$ = strconcat($1, $3, $2); }
        | version DOT INTEGER  { $$ = strconcat($1, $3, $2); }
;

For last query '34.1234.' we want to print VERSION '34.1234' and
return DOT.
This is just an test example, actually we know workaround
for this case, but we need something simple and universal :)


	Regards,
		Oleg

removing the line above seems to fix your problem ;)

you can't return DOT as version is <str> and DOT is <opr>

please describe the problem with some more samples, as it will make it
easier which kind of universal you are searching for ;)

No, it's there by intention. VERSION could be not just 7.3 but 7.3.3 :)

We're thinking about rewriting tsearch's parser and got this problem.
Similar situation could arise form hyphenated words, etc.
