How to decode string in specific charset and then encode it in UTF-8?

Question

How, in Ada, do I decode a string coming from the MS Windows terminal, then encode it in UTF-8?

Answer 1

Try looking in package Ada.Strings.UTF_Encoding.Conversions for UTF-handling.
As for retrieving text from the command-line you can use Ada.Command_Line, though there are also files/streams that you can use to get the standard input.
