Hi guys,requesting some help with my vhdl code,i am writing a Data 
Encryption Standard using VHDL.I have a problem with reading from a 
file.I can write to a file if I entered the inputs manually in my 
testbench but I cant write to a file when I try to read the inputs from 
a file.Below is a portion of my code and the input/output files.Any help 
would be greatly appreciated and thanks for your time!

Input File(.txt)
