That's not really a problem. This is just a case where you are taking several
succesive string values, so the proper idiom would be to use several successive
string objects:

loop
   declare
      Line : constant String := Ada.Text_IO.Get_Line;
   begin
      -- process line
      exit when Line = "Quit"; -- or whatever
   end;
end loop;
