[pet] PET/Flop fails to compile minimal english grammar of Lingo Grammar Matrix - Solved

[Coote, Ravi]

Dear Emily,

Thank you very much for you answer. You're right, deleting all the comment strings ".." after := enables to compile the grammar with flop. 

You can automate the process with the following sed-commands:

sed 's/& $//g' head-types.tdl > head-types2.tdl
sed 's/\".*\"//g' head-types2.tdl > head-types3.tdl

Head-types3.tdl contains the right syntax, then. Head-types.tdl is the only file you have to modify.

Thank you! Have a nice day.

Regards,

Ravi Coote

Dear Ravi,

:+ is now available in PET (we should update that README).  The issue I think has to do with comment strings, i.e., "" after :=.  There were at some point just a couple of those in matrix.tdl and lots and lots in head-types.tdl.
I thought we'd gotten rid of them, but maybe not yet.
