  Any tips are greatly appreciated.

If you look at the Language Reference Manual (the online versions have
an index where you could look up command line arguments) you'll see...


   package Ada.Command_Line...


Use it like this...

   with Ada.Command_Line; use Ada.Command_Line;

   with Text_IO; use Text_IO;

   procedure Demo is
   begin
      for i in 1..Argument_Count loop
         put (Argument (i));
        new_line;
      end loop;
   end;

Look in the LRM for how to get the program name.
