My problem is that I got to read a time string from a text file. It is
in the form 12:34:45 Hour:Minute:Second. I want to get each part one
by one with

Ada.Integer_Text_IO.Get(File=>input_file, Item=> Hour);
Skip; -- skips the ":" character 
Ada.Integer_Text_IO.Get(File=>input_file, Item=> Minute);
Skip;
Ada.Integer_Text_IO.Get(File=>input_file, Item=> Second);

But the colons(:) troubles me here. If I use "," or "." instead of
colons it works but there will be colons in the input. What is the
problem? Is there any special meaning of colons(:) in Ada? Thanks.
