Note that they are only ' ' because you initialized Host to all spaces; otherwise they would be stack junk. Because you know they are ' ', you could use Ada.Strings.Fixed.Trim, but that's probably overkill for this case. Another way, and one that works even if the unused positions contain stack junk, is Ada.Text_IO.Get_Line (File => Config, Item => Host, Last => Host_Last); ... -- No change to Host_Last Server.Addr := Addresses (Get_Host_By_Name (Host (Host'First ..
