I am learning using textio library.
I have source code and test bench. Both of them are compiled well.
Test bench looks like below.

-------------------------
....
architecture
....
file AAA : TEXT open READ_MODE is "text.txt";
begin
....
process
begin
...
while NOT (endfile(AAA)) loop -- here occurs error
...
-------------------------

I am using modelsim and met the following error message. It is strange
that it tries to open VHDL file instead of TXT file...and also strange
because there IS a text file in the directory.....

-----------------------------------------------------------------
Fatal: (vsim-7) Failed to open VHDL file "text.txt" in r mode.
# No such file or directory. (errno = ENOENT)
-----------------------------------------------------------------

If someone has this experience, let us know how to solve...

Thankyou

Specify the complete path for the file - not only it's name.

e.g.:
file AAA : TEXT open READ_MODE is "/home/userX/folderY/text.txt";

Some tools don't like white spaces in the names of files or directory
paths. It is better to always use names like 'my_directory' with an
underscore rather than 'my directory' with a space in the name.

Complete path name.... now it works

Thankyou very much
