Re: Converting Type Characters to type string

What I'm doing is taking the first character the user enters and
looking at it to determine whether or not it is a integer roman
numeral or the letter Q (for quit). if it's a integer then I need to
convert the single character to a roman numeral and I take the rest of
the input as a string and convert it to an integer using

int := integer'value(char);

so basically I then need to know how to convert the single character I
used to determine whether or not the input was a integer roman numeral
or the letter Q to an integer. And then I can add it to the integer to
find the roman numeral vlaue.
