Just wanted 2 say thanks for all the advice I've been given, it much
appreciated.

I have to say that in some places, the description of the suggestion went
RIGHT over my head, but it did give me an idea of how to do the problem.

I started from the start of the line, and looped till a blank (' ') was
found, (thus giving me the location) and then loop until a character is
found, then again loop until a blank is found (thus giving me the
registration number) and then AGAIN loop until the blanks finish, then get
the hours (which I assigned to integers). Because there was a constant 3
spaces between the hours, minutes and seconds, I continued this process till
I got the whole line. I know this might not seem like the most efficient
option, but I am not really that good at Ada, and so this is the only option
I could understand.

Now I am going onto the next bit which is even more difficult, and I havent
got a hope of doing it (I'm not a fan of arrays :S).Oh well, theres a
struggle ahead :)

Thanks again

J

PS Michal hope ur feeling better, if not, a dose of Ada will certainly fix
any ailments u have.....
