Howard says

<<Hi,
I have a sentence stored in a string and I need to remove all spaces and
punctuation from the string.
My 600 page Ada book just says that this requies advanced packages that
are beyond the scope of the book.
Can someone help me out?
>>

It is not credible that any book says any such idiotic thing. A perfectly
trivial little program can do this. In fact it is quite suitable as a
beginning assignment in Ada!
