Hello,
I am looking for information regarding Ada String manipulation. In
particular, I would like to have similar String manipulation functions as
are present in Perl. Could someone point me to the right place, please?
Thanks in advance,
Chris

See the Ada.Strings family of packages in the Ada95RM.

A perfectly reasonable answer, but in fact the string manipulation routines
in the RM are pretty weak.
One of my background tasks is to create a complete Ada 95 version of the
pattern matching facilities of SNOBOL-4 (in another life I created the
SPITBOL systems that are fast compilers for SNOBOL-4).
This would be really useful (and then we could get rid of the peculiar
use of Spitbol in building GNAT), but I am afraid this is not super
high priority!
