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.

You can't remove characters from a string. This sounds like a limitation, but it is simply asking too much from the "String" type. Ways around this problem are... Construct a brand new string. E.g. New_String : String := Old_String (1..4) & Old_String (5..Last); You can't however do... Old_String := Old_String (1..4) & Old_String (5..Last); Use a different type,such as...

I've seen a lot of answers, but I'll throw mine in anyway because I think there's a point that needs to be made. Ada strings are *very* different from C strings, and it takes a bit of getting used to. In C, strings are essentially a sequence of CHARs with a null (0) at the end. In Ada, strings are an array of characters of an exact range that *you* specify (by default, the entire array). The string ends where your array (or slice of the array) ends. In practice strings rarely change, so you can set your string to perfectly fill the array, which makes Ada strings much easier to deal with (and quicker) than their C counterparts. In the rare cases where strings do change, you must keep a length index separately, or use one of the alternate dynamic string types in Ada.Strings.*. If you are using the String type for your strings, realize that these strings are "fixed", and are best dealt with that way. That means that rather than trying to remove a character, what you generally would look to do is create a new string value (separate from the old one) with the character removed. There's a routine in Ada.Strings.Fixed to help with that, but if you know its index its just as easy to do it with something like: My_String (My_String'first .. Char_Index - 1) & My_String (Char_Index + 1 .. My_String'last); However, I should say that solutions to this problem should go on the back burner until you have dicovered that you are solving the right problem in the first place. Perhaps you are, but often newbies are not, and there's no ways to tell from your post. Since Ada and C strings are so different, the techniques you may have learned for dealing with dynamic C strings are liable to be completely inappropriate for dealing with fixed Ada strings. So the first question we need answered is *why* you want to remove a character from the middle of your string. -- T.E.D.

If it truly means that. If you are writing the program that will process the string, then you can certinaly make it mean that. But that doesn't mean that "Foo" & ASCII.NUL = "Foo" will return true. So they are *not* the same in that sense. How a device (like a terminal display) will handle a nul is up to it. That's not the point though. Since C's strings are somewhat dynamic, using them as storage while the contents are massaged into proper place is encouraged. Thus algorithms that cause string values to be modified are fairly natural in C. In Ada its usualy much more sensible (and possible) to figure our your string's final value in one shot. If you need intermediate steps, you'd usually want to use intermediate strings. So algorithms that rely on mucking with string values in place are discouraged. My point is that one shouldn't try solving problems the C way in Ada. As they say at NASA, "Never apply a Star Trek solution to a Babylon 5 problem". Newbies are quite likely to fall into such a trap, and I haven't seen this one give his rationale for needing a "delete one character" solution so that I can believe otherwise. So the first answer here shouldn't be "here's how you do that...", it should be "Why do you need to do that?" -- T.E.D.

Actually, that would be the "DEL" character. That's why it's at the high end of the ASCII table, after all, because with all seven bits set, you can overwrite any pattern of holes in a paper tape with it. ;-) -- Darren New San Diego, CA, USA (PST).

How would you delete a character from a C string? Seems to me that's probably harder that with an Ada string (lack of slice assignment), unless, of course, you selectively copy to a new string. And if you really need in-band signalling, you don't have to have a Last variable, but can put a null where your string logically ends, just like C. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 19+ messages in thread

All C arrays, including strings, are zero-origin, so _if_ this worked it would produce ABCEF. But: 1) you can't legally modify (store to) a string literal value. _Some_ implementations put them in readonly storage and this will fault. _Some_ implementations share storage for identical(ly-suffixed) values, so modifying one changes the other(s) -- like the classic FORTRAN (II? IV?) bug of changing say the constant 1 to be 2. In C++ string literal values are at least qualified const, which couldn't be done in Standard C for compatibility with the pre-existing code base, so _some_ (simple) violations of this rule are caught by the compiler, but even in C++ there is a legal though nonpreferred conversion to non-const char pointer. Note char foo[] = "ABCDEF" is different. That allocates space and _initializes_ it by copying the literal value -- at least notionally, for static-duration variables the copy is often embedded in process creation -- and it can then be legally modified; but see next. 2) all the <string.h> routines have Undefined Behavior (in Ada terms, are erroneous) for overlapping buffers, with the single exception of memmove(). This means in theory _anything_ is permissible; in practice, the likely problem is that fetches and/or stores are reordered and you do get a deterministic value, just the wrong one. > > No where near as pretty or readable as Ada, but just as short and > > easy.
