Probably the best way is:

Make your own common function, such as:

   with Ada.Strings;        use Ada.Srings;
   with Ada.Strings.Fixed;  use Ada.Srings.Fixed;

   function Trim(the_String : string) return string is
   begin
      return Trim(source => the_String,
                  side   => both);
   end Trim;


Then include it in a context clause, such as:

   with Ada.Text_Io;
   with Trim;

   procedure Trim_Test is

      number : natural := 1234;

   begin

      Ada.Text_Io.Put_Line(Trim(natural'image(number)));

   end Trim_Test;


Hope this helps.
Frank

Natural'Image returns string with space at the begining. Is there any
standard way how to get number without this additional character?

Thanks,

Tomas
