procedure Create(file : in out File_Type; from : in Stream_Access); ?

Knows anybody out there a way to create a File_Type (for Ada.Text_IO) from a
Ada.Streams.Root_Type derivate?

Without knowing exactly what you are aiming at :

1) Cut'n'paste File_Type into your code; manually
hook the stream in; UC it into and Ada.Text_Io file type.

2) If possible (using GNAT 3.15p packages) try using
the package Ada.Text_Io.C_Streams which can hook up
a "C" style stream to an Ada.Text_Io.File_Type.

Not much help, but I vaguely recall that the 2nd method
(Ada.Text_Io.C_Streams.Open) can be very useful in that
one can use Text_Io to do the parsing instead of having
to reimplement parsers to look for "CRLF" or "LF" etc
for oneself.

You got the point exactly enough. I'd like to apply Text_IO procedures to a
Stream (i.e. from GNAT.Sockets).

Found both yesterday, but:
 1) is very implementation dependant.
 2) requires an non portable way to convert GNAT.Sockets.Streams into
    C_Streams.

Exactly. I'm looking f�r CRLF in the stream. Now I wrote a Get_Line myself.

I have one if you are interested. Part of a package
"Internet.Pop3" which I am polishing up at the moment
since there seems to be interest in recent threads.

I don't see how this would be possible; a stream may not be a file (it
may be a socket or just memory, for example).

Why do you want to do this? Perhaps there is another way ...

All my programs does read data sequentially from a file/stream. So I use as
file as a stream. That's why, I'd like to handle a Stream with the common
Text_IO functions.

Sure. I can rewrite 'Read and 'Write.

Did you notice Ada.Text_IO.Text_Streams (A.12.2) ?

This is the other way around.

???
With this package, you have both a File and a Stream refering to the same physical file.
You can use that any way you want.
Unless I missed something?

The Gnat 3.15p Ada.Text_Io.Text_Streams provides stream
access to an Ada.Text_Io.File_Type, not the other way
around (an Ada.Text_Io.File_Type from an Ada Stream)
unless I am missing something :-)

So, if I understand correctly, you want a Text_IO.File_Type from
*any* stream? Can't you use Ada.Text_IO.Text_Streams.Stream_Access
right from the start?

Yes, I do.

No. I have GNAT.Sockets.Socket_Type.

I think the threads are crossed-up or getting dropped.

The OP is <lutz@iks-jena.de> and it turns out
that the OP is trying to parse CRLF from a
Gnat.Sockets supplied Stream.
