First I find the Ada 95 LRM (language reference manual), here's one: http://www.adaic.org/standards/95lrm/html/RM-TOC.html Then I look in Annex A which describes the "Predefined Language Environment" http://www.adaic.org/standards/95lrm/html/RM-A.html and look for something to do with strings. Let's see... Ada.Strings.Fixed. That sounds like it may be what I'm looking for.... A.43 There I find a function called "Delete" which sounds like what you're looking for. Since you're new to Ada I suggest perusing Annex A to see what's available.
