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)

Why not? What error message do you get?

Hi there,sorry for the late reply,issue has been solved.I forgotten to 
add a "h"in front of read.Hence,it wasnt able to read hexadecimal 
inputs.Thanks for your time!
