[Boost-users] [Spirit] Qi lexeme only taking the first word

Hello, I've got a couple of rules that are perplexing to me. First, rule id %= lexeme[qi::alpha >> *char_("A-Za-z0-9_")]; In and of itself, id is working fine. Then I've got a "full id": rule full_id %= id >> *(char_('.') >> id); Where: struct full_id_t { std::string val; }; full_id_t::val is quite intentional for reasons elsewhere in the grammar. The perplexity comes in, it seems lexeme is only shaving off the first word as the val. For instance, parsing "two.oranges.red.test", I receive back "two" in the AST. Perhaps I should defer specifying the lexeme part of id until later? Thoughts? Suggestions? Thank you! Best regards, Michael Powell
