dynamic arrays in ada?

dynamic arrays in ada?

[Lars Plessmann]

how can I generate a dynamic array in ada (like in perl e.g.)
with a undefined begin and end.
i know there a "range <>" construction, but how to use it?

I need an array-type where I can store unbounded_strings.
I need to realize that in an package (ADS), so the type should be open 
to my ADB file.
is that possible and how can I realize that?

thx.
Lars

Yes, it's certainly possible, read about unconstrained arrays in any Ada
textbook.

You mean, the unbounded Strings that Ada provides?
