File I/O

Hello All!

I am a newbie to Ada and have a question.  How can I read a file and 
write to a file in Ada?  And what package do I need to include?

Thanks in advance.

Look at:
   http://adahome.com/Tutorials/Lovelace/lesson9.htm

But I recommend that you get/loan an Ada text book. On-line resources
can be found here:

What is also really useful is the reference manual. Once you have the
basis knoweledge, you can learn everything else with the RM.

  What kind of file?

  For text files, consisting of variable length lines separated by CR
or LF, use Ada.Text_IO

  For files consisting of a homogenous series of binary records,
look at Ada.Sequential_IO

  For files consisting of a homogenous set of binary records,  randomly
accessible, look at Ada.Direct_IO

  For files with heterogenous binary stuff, look at Ada.Streams.Stream_IO
