: Current_Character : Character;
The type conversion *shouldn't* be needed -- but what you're trying
to do in the code above is to assign a 21-character string (20 chars
in Token_Temp + 1 more char in Current_Character) to a 20-character
string (Token_Temp). This *definitely* won't work.
I don't know what you're trying to achieve, but it might be worth
looking into the standard packages Ada.Strings.Bounded (RM95[A.4.4])
or possibly Ada.Strings.Unbounded (RM95[A.4.5]), since there are
facilities there to deal with variable-length strings.
