Re: Converting Type Characters to type string

Ok, Let me start over. Maybe I'm not approaching my problem the right
way. I'm trying to write a program that converts integers to roman
numerals or vice versa depending on the user input. to do this I
thought I would get the input in separate characters so that I can
easily compare the values to find whether the user inputed IX or XI or
something else. This works until unless the user wants to convert an
integer to roman numeral. to change the input to an integer I'm using
this int:=Integer'Value(str); But for this to work the input has to be
in a string not a character. I thought about taking the input as a
string and then doing a string slice on the characters and storing
them in different variables but once again I'm not sure how many
characters will be entered so how can I do that? So how would be the
optimal way of going about this?

Thanks once again for your patience
