[ragel-users] Solving ambiguity

[Husam Senussi]

Hi,

I'm trying to use ragel to write parser for RFC2822 but I found some ambiguity in the grammar  so just want to see if
is solve it using priories.

Below is sample I found in the grammar with ambiguity

wsp           = [ \t];
fws             = ( ( wsp* crlf )? wsp+ ) 
field		   = (fws? alpha+ fws?);
host		   = (field ('.' field)*) >mark %print;
main        := host (fws host)*;

The problem I found with input like this "a.mydomain.com  b.mydomain.com" end up calling print 3 times

1. "a.mydomain.com"
2. "a.mydomain.com "
3. "b.mydomain.com"

where I was expecting:

2. "a.mydomain.com "
3. "b.mydomain.com"


I'm assuming the problem is having fws? in end of field and one in main between host, so is there
anyway  solve this without breaking the grammar.


Sorry if this sounds  like basic question I just started using Ragel.

Thanks
