There are a lot of ways to do this.  The easiest is to use the package
Ada.Strings.Fixed. For this question you will want to use the
Index function. It will return the index of the first occurance of the
pattern you want to find.

Simply use string slices after that, repeatedly passing the slices
to the Index function, to parse through the entire original string.
