How to match whitespace and comments with re2c

Question

I started very recently to use bison for writing small compiler exercises. I am having some issues with white spaces ans comments. I was trying to debug the problem and I arrived to this source that looks like what I am looking for. I tried to chnage and erase some characters as advised but didn't work. Also during compilation I have the following error: re2c: error: line 2963, column 0: can only difference char sets. Below the part of the code:

yy::conj_parser::symbol_type yy::yylex(lexcontext& ctx)
{
        const char* anchor = ctx.cursor;
        ctx.loc.step();
        // Add a lambda function to avoid repetition
        auto s = [&](auto func, auto&&... params) { ctx.loc.columns(ctx.cursor - anchor); return func(params..., ctx.loc); };

%{  /* Begin re2c lexer : Tokenization process starts */

re2c:yyfill:enable    = 0;
re2c:define:YYCTYPE   = "char";
re2c:define:YYCURSOR  = "ctx.cursor";

"return"          { return s(conj_parser::make_RETURN); }
"while" | "for"   { return s(conj_parser::make_WHILE);  }
"var"             { return s(conj_parser::make_VAR);    }
"if"              { return s(conj_parser::make_IF);     }

// Identifiers
[a-zA-Z_] [a-zA-Z_0-9]*  { return s(conj_parser::make_IDENTIFIER, std::string(anchor, ctx.cursor)); }

// String and integers:
"\""" [^\"]* "\""      { return s(conj_parser::make_STRINGCONST, std::string(anchor+1, ctx.cursor-1)); }
[0-9]+                 { return s(conj_parser::make_NUMCONST, std::stol(std::string(anchor, ctx.cursor))); }

// Whitespace and comments:
"\000"               { return s(conj_parser::make_END);      }
"\r\n" | [\r\n]      { ctx.loc.lines();   return yylex(ctx); }
"//" [^\r\n]*        {                    return yylex(ctx); }
[\t\v\b\f ]          { ctx.loc.columns(); return yylex(ctx); }

Thank you very much for pointing in the right direction or shading some lights on why this error could be solved.

You really should mention which line is line 2963. Perhaps it is here, because there seems to be an extra quotation mark in that line.

"\""" [^\"]* "\""
    ^
