I'm trying to search for a string containing the string "day = "2""
within some xml using gnat ada. Unfortunately the "2" is causing a
problem in that ada thinks it is the end of the string before it gets
to the end. Can someone tell me how I need to represent this to search
successfully ?

You look up how to write string literals in the LRM. (It might be in
section 2.6.)
Greetings,

Well, if you're using that string as a constant, or an initialzation,
the correct way is to double up the quotes OR use the & operator with
the character literal.
Examples:
Search_String : String:= "day = ""2""";
OR
Search_String : String:= "day = " & '"' & "2" & '"';
