Well if you don't need wildcard support then every thing you need
for that task can be found in one of the standard packages ada.strings.fixed,
ada.strings.bounded or ada.strings.unbounded. A combination of the routines
index and replace_slice in aloop will do what you want.
If you need wildcards then look at the two regex packages that come with Gnat,
a snobol clone and a unix regex like system.
