The following string

Action 1000 ms;

can be parsed with standard dynamic lexer without any problems.

Some lazy peaple wrote in some files this (no space between 1000 and ms)

Action 1000ms;

This is kind of problem and my parser has an error. As far as I understood I need change the lexer. Now my integer definition is Regex: {Digit}+, LookAheadPattern: {NonWord}|\z. I believe that this is the problem of LookAheadPattern. I tried some variants without any success and hope that you can help me.

Hi Yury,

Yes your LookAheadPattern is saying a non-word character or document end must come after the digits in order to match.  Since "m" is a "word" character, the LookAheadPattern will fail in the latter scenario.

You could try making it something more like:

{NonWord}|\z|(ms)

That may do the trick.
