So, I have a question that may seem painfully obvious, but how does
one go about parsing a Float from a string that has other data in it
too? I'm getting a line from the keyboard that has a float and a
custom type in it, and I need to separate the two values. I'm using a
call to Get_Line to get the entire line the user entered as a string,
and when I try to call Float'Value (In_String (1 .. Last)), I get a
constraint error. Is there any way to parse a float and a custom
subtype (Excellent, Good, Fair, Poor) from one string, or am I going
about this the entirely wrong way? Any help would be much appreciated,
and if clarification is needed because I wasn't clear, just ask. Thank
you in advance!
