在ANTLR 4生成的解析器中为Java类创建命令行别名

Question

Below is a line of code I found in Chapter 1 of the "The Definitive ANTLR 4 Reference" book. This command is not working in Windows command prompt. How can I correct this error so it stores an alias for the Tool? I imagine the author forgot to include the alias in this line of code, but I don't know where it should go.

C:\source\antlr4\Hello>java -cp C:\libraries\antlr-4.4-complete.jar;%CLASSPATH% org.antlr.v4.Tool %*

Error:

error(7):  cannot find or open file: %*

In the book, the jar file is not on version 4.4, but rather 4.0. That's the only difference. Instead of typing the line below, I should just be able to type "antlr4" from the command line to initiate the generated parser to accept input.

C:\source\antlr4\Hello>java org.antlr.v4.runtime.misc.TestRig Hello r -tree

I am following the Hello World grammar.

In UNIX, it looks like the equivalent is:

alias antlr4='java -jar /usr/local/lib/antlr-4.4-complete.jar'

Answer 1

Turns out that you should exclude the quotes when defining an alias in Windows. There is also a $* to accept parameters.

C:\source\antlr4\Hello>doskey antlr4=java -jar C:\libraries\antlr-4.4-complete.jar $*

C:\source\antlr4\Hello>doskey grun=java org.antlr.v4.runtime.misc.TestRig $*
