"Hi all!

Can anybody say me where can I find FAQ of this newsgroup?"

Unlike many other newsgroups, a FAQ has not been posted for several years
(most of them were last posted in 1996, there are multi-part
news:comp.lang.ada FAQ lists for different topics). You can usually find
the FAQs at HTTP://WWW.FAQs.org/ (the main ones at
HTTP://WWW.FAQs.org/faqs/computer-lang/Ada/comp-lang-ada/part1/
HTTP://WWW.FAQs.org/faqs/computer-lang/Ada/comp-lang-ada/part2/
HTTP://WWW.FAQs.org/faqs/computer-lang/Ada/comp-lang-ada/part3/
HTTP://WWW.FAQs.org/faqs/computer-lang/Ada/programming/part1/
HTTP://WWW.FAQs.org/faqs/computer-lang/Ada/programming/part2/
HTTP://WWW.FAQs.org/faqs/computer-lang/Ada/programming/part3/
HTTP://WWW.FAQs.org/faqs/computer-lang/Ada/programming/part4/
HTTP://WWW.FAQs.org/faqs/computer-lang/Ada/learning/
and all of them from
HTTP://WWW.FAQs.org/faqs/computer-lang/Ada/ ) but that website seems to
be offline at the moment. While you are waiting for it to come back,
you can get them by searching from
HTTP://groups.Google.com/advanced_group_search?hl=ru
(e.g. I chose FAQ as the word to find and to look in comp.lang.ada
and one of the results was
HTTP://groups.Google.com/groups?q=FAQ+group:comp.lang.ada&hl=ru&lr=&ie=UTF-8&inlang=ru&selm=3fm9jh%24a72%40disunms.epfl.ch&rnum=3
) or by using HTTP://WWW.Google.com/ to search, but when you click
on a result, click on "Cached" instead of clicking on the title
(e.g.
HTTP://216.239.51.100/search?q=cache:7MEJnC8e1MwC:www.faqs.org/faqs/computer-lang/Ada/++site:www.faqs.org+%22faqs.org%22+Ada&hl=en&ie=UTF-8
and
HTTP://216.239.39.100/search?q=cache:RZYKy6nsfDwC:www.faqs.org/faqs/computer-lang/Ada/programming/part1/++site:www.faqs.org+%22faqs.org%22+Ada&hl=en&ie=UTF-8
).

As for your questions about Perl-style string
manipulations, I will leave that to someone with
more interest in those sort of things.
