Subject: put a character back to the input stream

Message-ID: <3811B324.D0CC49A3@hotmail.com> (raw)

is there any function in ada which can put a read character back to the
input stream like cin.putback(c) in c++. it happens when i have a input
which i read a character each time
"name + 342"
when i found a digit, i know the whole thing's gonna be a number, so i
put the read digit back, then read the whole number. the same thing
happens for the string too. so i need a function to put back the current
read character back to avoid lose the first character.

thanks
