Hello.

I am trying to simulate a vhdl Code using a text files. the Output 
Signal is correct except that it's in binary. I would like to know what 
command line I can add to have it in hexadecimal. My Code look like 
this.

1
file_open(vectors, "input_vectors.txt", read_mode);

2
file_open(results, "output_results.txt", write_mode);

3


4
while not endfile(vectors) loop

5
   readline(vectors, iline);

6
   read(iline, a_in);

7
   ...

8


9
   write(oline, output_data); -- it's any modification needed here 

10
end loop;

11


12
file_close(vectors);

13
file_close(results);


Many thanks

Hello.

@moderator thanks for the edit.

Thanks a lot for the link Duke. I have tried one of the example and it 
work. I just have to Change the "write" line to

 hwrite (oline, output_data);

Once again thanks for the help

Hallo again.

I don't know if I should start a new tread or continue here. I am facing 
another Problem. I would like the values I am reading from the input 
text file to appear on the waveform window of the Simulation Software 
(Active-HDL). These Signals only appear as Zero (0) in the waveform. My 
Code look like:


1
 Signal e_in            : std_logic;

2
       Signal a_in            : std_logic_vector(31 downto 0);

3
       Signal b_in            : std_logic_vector(3 downto 0);

4
      ...

5
      process

6
          variable s         : string(1 to 300);

7
          variable iline     : line;

8
          variable oline     : line;

9
          variable e_in      : std_logic;

10
          variable a_in      : std_logic_vector (31 downto 0);

11
          variable sapce     : character;

12
          ...

13
          file_open(vectors, "input_vectors.txt", read_mode);

14
          file_open(results, "output_results.txt", write_mode);

15


16
         while not endfile(vectors) loop

17
             readline(vectors, iline);

18
             if (s(1 to 3)= "#AE") then

19
             read(iline, space);

20
             hread(iline, a_in);  --This value to appear on the waveform

21
             read (iline, space);

22
             read (iline, e_in);  -- as well as this value

23
             read (iline, space);

24
             read (iline, b_in);  -- and this one too

25
             in_a <= a_in;

26
             in_e <= e_in;

27
             in_b <= b_in;

28
           elsif

29
              ...

30


31
             hwrite(oline, output_data);

32
             end loop;

33


34
            file_close(vectors);

35
            file_close(results);


the Content of my Input file

1
#AE 0000001A 1 0010 

2
      #CDE 00FC0011 0001 00000274

3
      ...


Many thanks
