Accessing Thumb Drives
How can I access a thumb drive on my iPad? I purchased an adapter but I don’t know how to see what files are available on the drive plugged into it.

This is a feature that Apple has announced will be available in iPadOS 13 when it is releases (presumably in a few months). Access will be through the "Files" app.
This feature, currently, is not available on iOS/iPads.
Currently, the only flash/thumb drives you can use for iPads are wireless ones that have a built-in Wifi transmitter from SanDisk or from Kingston.
And these may or may not work for any text document data, but for just music, images and videos.
Best of Luck to You!
