Re: how to parse words from a string

[mabes180@aol.com (Sarah Thomas)]

Interesting follow ups! thanks for the input and help ! 
I have succesfully extracted words from a string.
I read each line in from the file
and used find_token, followed by slice, followed by deleting the word
from the string..and then stored them in a fixed array for now..
this is just an outline of how i did it.....

loop
	Find_Token(Temp, Ada.Strings.Maps.To_Set(Ada.Characters.Latin_1.HT),
Ada.Strings.Outside, From, To);
	exit when To = 0;
		
	My_word := To_Unbounded_String(Slice(Temp, From, To));
	Put_line(Output_File,To_String(My_word));

	IF (Length(temp) /= To ) then
		Delete(Temp, 1, To + 1);
	else
		Delete(Temp, 1, To);
	end if;
			
	Store_data(Line_Number,Word_Number) := (My_Word);
			
end loop;
