Dear Experts,

I want to read data from file ($fgets , $scanf).
I have two issues with that:
1) I do not know how much records (lines) are in the file.
Hence I can not declare an array variable before.
2) If I would open the file n times would this really open the file n times returning a new handle ?

How are such things handled in verilog AMS.
I fear, I waste a lot of runtime keeping the file open and not store the content in memory.
Another difficulty is that I can not fix in code which file to read.
This is a parameter or even the next file to read is given by some string in the current open file. You could think of hierarchical file reading.

Any idea ?

Thanks a lot
