Syntax

public void parseNumbers()

Description

Specifies that numbers should be parsed by this tokenizer. The syntax table of this tokenizer is modified so that each of the twelve characters:

0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 . -

has the "numeric" attribute.

When the parser encounters a word token that has the format of a double precision floating-point number, it treats the token as a number rather than a word, by setting the the ttype field to the value TT_NUMBER and putting the numeric value of the token into the nval field.
