File IO

[edhunter2003]

Hi all,

I am writing a testbench and I need to know something about file IO. How can you read a byte from a file and convert it to a std_logic_vector(7 downto 0)?

I have looked at all the text IO stuff, but none of it fits my need.

What I want is to read a pixel from a bitmap file, and convert it to std_logic_vector(7 downto 0) to pass to my VHDL core.

Any ideas?

Thanks a million
Ed
