Hi guys,its my first time here in this forum.Firstly,nice to meet you 
all.I would like to request help for my assignment as I am having 
difficulties at one part of my assignment.

I am trying to read from a file that has 3 columns,and I only need the 
middle column,So I declared 2 extra variables to store the left and 
right column while another variable(for my input)is used for the middle 
column.Attached is my input file and below is my code(reading part).Any 
help is greatly appreciated and thanks for taking your time to read my 
post.

I have a kind of a deja vu with the thread 
https://embdev.net/topic/321964
Is this the same exercise?

I am using modelsim,and when I stimulate the code,It shows the input as 
000000...,I believe this happened because halfway through the input 
file,The left and right column is empty while the middle column(The 
input that I want)is continuing,I tested by using the left Column as my 
input and just store the other 2 columns(middle,right)into variables and 
it works.

So was wondering if it is possible to read the middle column although 
the other two columns are empty?

That looks similar to my assignment too,just that my input file is much 
longer and the left/right columns goes empty through halfway of the 
input file

Thanks for reading and looking forward to your reply!

Hi,

Maybe this will be useful. There are few assumptions regarding the input 
file syntax. Seems to work ok with yours input8.txt .

1
entity tb is

2
end;

3
architecture arch of tb is

4
begin

5
  process

6
    use std.textio.all;

7
    use ieee.numeric_std.all;

8
    file OFile:text open read_mode is "input8.txt";

9
    file OFile2:text open write_mode is "output.txt";

10
11
    variable OLine : line;

12
    variable OLine2 : line;

13
    

14
    variable temp_str : string(1 to 26);

15
    variable what : boolean:= false;

16
  begin

17
    while not(endfile(OFile))loop

18
    

19
      readline(OFile,OLine);

20
      read (OLine, temp_str,what);

21
      -- to skip empty lines

22
      if what then

23
        -- report temp_str(10 to 26);

24
        write(OLine2, temp_str(10 to 26));

25
        writeline(OFile2,OLine2);

26
      end if;

27
    end loop;

28
    file_close(OFile);

29
    file_close(OFile2);

30
    report "hello";

31
  wait;

32
  end process; 

33
end;
