Re: Text IO

["Marin David Condic" <dont.bother.mcondic.auntie.spam@[acm.org>]

You aren't being very specific here. Try posting some of your code and error
messages from the compiler, etc. It is a good idea to provide as much
information as you can about what is not working when posting to a
newsgroup. (Typically, post the compiler + version you are using and the
machine/OS + version you are using just for starters. Code snippets and
error messages from the compiler are also very helpful.)

Commonly, if you are using Text_IO, you would do it sort of like this:

Ada.Text_IO.Put_Line ("Some Number: " & Integer'Image (X)) ;

You have to state the type to which the attribute applies - hence the
Integer'Image (or Float'Image or Natural'Image or Boolean'Image)
