when I'm print this procedure below -
procedure put (Date:Date_Type) is
begin
Put(Integer'Image(Date.Day)); --'
Put("-");
Put(Integer'Image(Date.Month)); --'
Put("-");
Put(Integer'Image(Date.Year)); --'
end;
The result is (for example) : 1- 1- 2010
My question is how to prevent the spacing of one character before every Date value. (day/month/year).
Of course I'm using Date procedure with record inside holding day/month/year.
Thanks in advance.
You have a few options:
- If you know the Integer value is always non-negative, you can slice the string to omit the leading blank.
- You can use the Ada.Strings.Fixed.Trim() function to trim off the blank.
- You can use the Put() procedure from an Ada.Text_IO.Integer_IO instantiation (such as the preinstantiated Ada.Integer_Text_IO).
Here's some code to illustrate:
with Ada.Text_IO;
with Ada.Integer_Text_IO;
with Ada.Strings.Fixed;
procedure Int_Image is
use Ada.Text_IO;
use Ada.Integer_Text_IO;
use Ada.Strings.Fixed;
N : Integer := 20;
Raw_Image : constant String := Integer'Image(N);
Trimmed_Image : constant String := Trim(Raw_Image, Ada.Strings.Left);
Sliced_Image : constant String := Raw_Image(2 .. Raw_Image'Last);
begin
Put_Line("Raw 'image :" & Raw_Image & ":");
Put_Line("Trimmed image :" & Trimmed_Image & ":");
Put_Line("Sliced image :" & Sliced_Image & ":");
Put ("'Put' image :");
Put (N, Width => 0);
Put_Line(":");
end Int_Image;
Compiling and running this with GNAT yields:
$./int_image
Raw 'image : 20:
Trimmed image :20:
Sliced image :20:
'Put' image :20:
