That still limits the length of the string.  I'd be more inclined to
this:

     Get_Line (Output_File_String);

     declare
        Output_File : String := To_String (Output_File_String);
     begin
        ...
     end;


I just hate padded strings.  When something is a String, 'Length,
'First, 'Last and 'Range should all be meaningful.  I reckon.
