A few novice questions on using Text_Io ...
I've checked a couple of "intro" text books on Ada, and the LRM, but I
haven't found a solution to either of these (trivial?) problems. I
would welcome suggestion from any gurus in netland. If there is
sufficient interest, I'll post a summary.
1) How to open a text file to append to an existing text file?
2) Is there some way to write to either Standard_Output or to a file?
The Text_Io.File_Type is limited private, so the following doesn't work:
The_File : File_Type;
The_File := Standard_Output;
...
Put(The_File, "hello world");
I then tried the following but the exception "Name_Error" was raised:
Open( File => The_File, Mode => In_Out, Name => Name(Standard_Output));
I also tried Create, but this created a new file in my directory
named "stdout".
Thanks,
