how to convert text string to integer in VerilogA?

hello experts,

in VerilogA, "reg" is not supported in Cadence yet even it's described in the Cadence version of VerilogA manual, and I'm having a hard time to pass some text string into integer value (ideally into bit values). I can not access individual bit of a string type. seems wire [] array is type of node and therefore I can't use it in assignment. anyway, I'm seeking for someway to convert string like "Hello World" into integer (ascii) values. 

thanks a lot,

David

    Hi David,

    OK, that's ISR9 (if you use Help->About it will show IC6.1.7-64b.500.9)

    There was a bug that awvCreateBus ignored the radix argument which was fixed in IC6.1.7-64b.500.12 - so a bit newer than the version you're using. I'm sure that's the reason why it works for me and not for you.

    Regards.

    Andrew.
