Here's that original Post Steph :-)

Hi, im new to Ada and I am writing my first program trying to "get"
Ada.

My small program ask for input from the user. I read it using :

Ada.Text_IO.Get_Line (MyType.Name, NameLength);

This data is then stored inside an array of a type I have declared :

type MyType is record
name : string(1..20);
adress : string(1..40);
telephone : natural;
end record;

Later in the program I output this information using :
Ada.Text_IO.Put (MyType.name);

My problem is this : when I output the name, part of the string is
filled with "garbage" characters. If I fill the string with 20
characters I get no garbage. But when I write a name that's about 10
characters long, I get about 10 characters of garbage.

Im using Gnat as my Ada compiler if that makes a difference.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you in advance.
