Hey

Im having a similar problem with this.

I have the program writing to a file etc, however only when using a direct
filename, ie

Text_Io.Create(
         File => In_Data,
         Mode => Text_Io.Out_File,
         Name => "c:\biff.txt");

This works beautifully.

When I try and get user input for the name of the string, ie

    Text_io.get_line(Filename, Last);
    Text_Io.Create(
         File => In_Data,
         Mode => Text_Io.Out_File,
         Name => Filename(1..Last));

it doesn't work

Any ideas what i am doing wrong?

Any help would be appreciated!

Cheers


Cameron
