This is an easy one I'm sure. I'm in my first semester of programming....

I'm trying to parse a 40-character long string. They are formatted in the
 following way:

LASTNAME^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^FIRSTNAME^^^^^^      <--- the variable Full_Name

I'm not sure how to parse it into to two separate variables, first_name and
 Last_name.

I used the get_line procedure to get the string, so I have the last_character
 position. How do I ignore the spaces in between?

Thanks !
