convert string to list of bit

mmbr
mmbr over 12 years ago

I'm looking for a way to read a file containing (HEX) numbers.

For each file I read, the width of the data is different (can be more than 32/64/128 bits).

So I'm looking for a way to convert the string I read from the file to a list of bit variable.

In order to make it easy, let say I know the size of the bits list (the data width) in advance.

Any ideas?

    muffi Hi,

    In your example list1 is a list of uint.

    I'm looking for a solution where list1 is a list of bit.

    Lets take for example a file containg a line with the number f3.

    var lob : list of bit;

    var lob_size : uint = 5;

    After the convertion function I would like to get lob with this list:

    Specman> p lob using dec
      lob =  (5 items, dec):
                                                    1  0 0 1 1      .0

    Specman> p lob using hex
      lob =  (5 items, hex):
                                                    1  0 0 1 1      .0
