That's what I thought before sending the message. It doesn't help,  
though.

5> S1 = "show({'bicycling' = A, 1010 = B}) -> show_activity(A, B, 4,  
\"bicycling, <10\").".
"show({'bicycling' = A, 1010 = B}) -> show_activity(A, B, 4,  
\"bicycling, <10\")."
6> {ok, Toks1, _} = erl_scan:string(S).
{ok,[{atom,1,show},
      {'(',1},
      {'{',1},
      {atom,1,bicycling},
      {'=',1},
      {var,1,'A'},
      {',',1},
      {integer,1,1010},
      {'=',1},
      {var,1,'B'},
      {'}',1},

      {',',1},
      {string,1,"bicycling, <10"},
      {')',1},
      {';',1}],
     1}
