I'm a beginner with ANTLR and i need some help to write the grammar .g file

My problem is to parse an URL which can be like this:

GET /PROFILE=myprofile;select+name+from+sysdatabases HTTP/1.1

or

GET /PROFILE=myprofile;select+name+from+sysdatabases;sp_help;sp_who HTTP/1.1

or

GET /PROFILE=myprofile;sp_help;DSN=myDSN;USER=sa;PWD=mypwd;sp_who HTTP/1.1

or

GET /DSN=myDSN;USER=sa;PWD=mypwd;sp_who HTTP/1.1

or

GET /sp_who HTTP/1.1

or

GET /DataSourcesInfos HTTP/1.1

or

GET /ProfilesInfos HTTP/1.1

or

GET /Help HTTP/1.1

I wrote a grammar to do that but when I execute the program, i have

$ java Main < infile

line 0: expecting METHOD, found ''

$

I don't know how to solve this problem.

If someone can help me, it would be great

Thanks for your help

I join to this message, the sample files and the grammar

$ cat infile

GET /PROFILE=myprofile;select+name+from+sysdatabases;DSN=mydsn;USER=sa;PWD=mypwd;sp_helpdb HTTP/1.1

First, i want to parse the URL to extract the following substrings :

PROFILE=myprofile;select+name+from+sysdatabases

and

DSN=mydsn;USER=sa;PWD=mypwd;sp_helpdb

Second, i want to parse again to have

PROFILE=myprofile,

select+name+from+sysdatabases

and

DSN=mydsn

USER=sa

PWD=mypwd

sp_helpdb
