There is nothing defined in the language for regular expressions.

However, if you are using GNAT, you can use the GNAT.Regexp
package to do what you want.

Subject: Regular expressions???


> Hi!

> <Name="Michael" Phone="7980438" Age="22"/>
> I want to extract Michael, 7989438 and 22 from the string above and
