This
subclause clause
presents the specifications of the package Strings and several child
packages, which provide facilities for dealing with string data. Fixed-length,
bounded-length, and unbounded-length strings are supported, for
both
String
, and
Wide_String
, and Wide_Wide_String. The string-handling
subprograms include searches for pattern strings and for characters in
program-specified sets, translation (via a character-to-character mapping),
and transformation (replacing, inserting, overwriting, and deleting of
substrings).
