Hello!

Alright, to begin with I have experience in several programming
languages, from assembly to OOP, and now I find myself delving into Ada.

I am taking a class on Ada and I am absolutely stuck in a lab.  I need
to open a comma delimited file, read it's contents into a variant
record, display the contents of the record, and then get the next
record.  So far I can open the file without a problem, it is the reading
the comma delimited records into the variant records where I am hitting
a wall.  I would tag on my code with this message, but right at the
moment it is a garbled mess from me trying a bajillion different
approaches to the problem.

Essentially, I am looking for pointers on working with variant records.
Any information will be hugely appreciated!

Thank you in advance!
