But as the input data is several GB, i dont want to convert it to text first. That would blow it up by a factor of 4 at least, if not even more. Attila Kinali -- I must not become metastable. Metastability is the mind-killer. Metastability is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my metastability. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the metastability has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain. _______________________________________________ Ghdl-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/ghdl-discuss
