problem to convert integer to ascii chars for LCD in vhdl

[Kenneth]

Hi,

I'm currently having problem to convert integer value (i.e. 1000 in
decimal) to ascii characters so that I could display on the LCD using
vhdl code. Could anyone has any recommendation in solving this as im
still very new to vhdl code, certain syntax im still learning. I need
this part urgently, it is for my school project. Thanks alots.

regards
Kenneth

In 1993 an attibute is added to the VHDL language.
If int is an integer value the following will give the string:
integer'image(int)

Another solution is to use a package "image_pb.vhd"

convert text to ascii in vhdl

can anyone help me out with the code for converting text to ascii? i have been racking my brain to get it but just cannot---i am a newbie in VHDL programming and that it why i am struggling on this supposedly simple program.

anyway, what I need to do is this:
each text character in a plain text file is to be converted to it's ascii code.

for ex: A converted to ASCII[A]

thanks in advance!
