Hi Folks,

I have a recursive production and I want to return an array of the all the tokens matched by 'primitive'.

(The complete grammar is rather large so I'm posting just a snippet.) 

vvalue:
    primitive vector_sep(?) vvalue
    | primitive vector_sep(?)

In an attempt to see the data structure being produced, I tried this: 

vvalue:
    primitive vector_sep(?) vvalue
        { \@item }
    | primitive vector_sep(?)
        { \@item }

Which according to Data:Dumper, produces the structure below from "2,3 5 7,11,13 17". 

                       [
                         'vvalue',
                         '2',
                         [
                           ','
                         ],
                         [
                           'vvalue',
                           '3',
                           [],
                           [
                             'vvalue',
                             '5',
                             [],
                             [
                               'vvalue',
                               '7',
                               [
                                 ','
                               ],
                               [

                                 '11',
                                 [
                                   ','
                                 ],
                                 [
                                   'vvalue',

                                   ],

                             $VAR1->[6]{'value'}[3][3]
                           ],
                           $VAR1->[6]{'value'}[3]
                         ],
                         $VAR1->[6]{'value'}
                       ],

What I'd like to receive back is [2,3,5,7,11,13,17].

Can someone point me in the right direction?

Cheers,
