The Ada.Strings.* are described in Appendix A of the ALRM (available
on-line) and ought to be in any complete Ada textbook.
For iterating over tokens Ada.Strings.Fixed.Index might be more
convenient, as in:
with Ada.Strings.Fixed,
Ada.Text_IO;
procedure Split is
Test : constant String := "These are the times that try men's souls";
Left : Natural := Test'first;
Right : Natural;
begin
while Left <= Test'last loop
Right := Ada.Strings.Fixed.Index(Test(Left .. Test'last), " ");
if Right = 0 then Right := Test'last+1;end if;
Ada.Text_IO.Put_Line(Test(Left .. Right-1));
Left := Right+1;
end loop;
end Split;
>Also something else I have been trying to work out, is how to replace,
>say all instances of "/" in a string with, say "__".
with Ada.Text_IO,
Ada.Strings.Fixed;
procedure Rep is
Test : constant String := "now is the/a time for all/some good//men/women";
function Replace(Source, Drop, Add : String) return String is
-- replace each occurrence of Drop in Source with Add
-- Note: The modified string is not rescanned, so, for instance,
-- Replace("Hello World", Drop=>" ", Add=>" "); will not
-- attempt to insert an infinite number of blanks.
Si : Natural := Ada.Strings.Fixed.Index(Source, Drop);
begin
if Si = 0 then
return Source;
else
return Source(Source'First .. Si - 1)
& Add
& Replace(Source(Si + Drop'Length .. Source'Last), Drop, Add);
end if;
end Replace;
begin
Ada.Text_IO.Put_Line(Replace(Test, Drop => "/", Add => "__"));
end Rep;
