There are packages that come with the language to do what you want. The
packages are
Ada.Strings.Fixed
Ada.Strings.Bounded
Ada.Strings.Unbounded
Ada.Strings.Maps
Ada.Characters.Handling
The Trim subprograms can remove whitespace from a string. Maybe you can
make use of the character mapping functions too.
