I've implemented a parser, where I use an input filter to modify the tokens a bit to make the grammar simpler. In one case, I insert double quotes around text, and get the whole string as a "String" token. But, after the parse, the pesky double quotes become a nuisance. I found in .../node/TString.java that I could take this: -------------------------------------------------------------------------- /* This file was generated by SableCC (http://www.sablecc.org/). */ package GED.GEDCOM55RDR.node; import GED.GEDCOM55RDR.analysis.*; public final class TString extends Token { public TString(String text) { setText(text); } public TString(String text, int line, int pos) { setText(text); setLine(line); setPos(pos); } public Object clone() { return new TString(getText(), getLine(), getPos()); } public void apply(Switch sw) { ((Analysis) sw).caseTString(this); } } -------------------------------------------------------------------------- and modify it this way, to get rid of the surrounding quotes: -------------------------------------------------------------------------- /* This file was generated by SableCC (http://www.sablecc.org/). */ package GED.GEDCOM55RDR.node; import GED.GEDCOM55RDR.analysis.*; public final class TString extends Token { public TString(String text) { setText(text.substring(1,text.length()-1)); <==== change here. } public TString(String text, int line, int pos) { setText(text.substring(1,text.length()-1)); <==== change here. setLine(line); setPos(pos); } public Object clone() { return new TString(getText(), getLine(), getPos()); } public void apply(Switch sw) { ((Analysis) sw).caseTString(this); } } -------------------------------------------------------------------------- and this small tweak works beautifully. BUT.... this is a generated file, and I need to NOT do this in this file! What's the cleanest way to override the functions in this class? I'm still a bit new as a Java programmer, so please, have mercy on me. I've overridden functions like crazy in the analysis (traversal) class, but this is a different sort of thing....?
