MAC Address

Unless you have something like Virtualbox installed (which installs its own set of virtual LAN cards), you can try typing getmac at the command prompt. It should provide you your LAN card's MAC address.

If you do have Virtualbox installed, you might consider running getmac /v instead for more verbose output. It will list down the connection name associated with the MAC address.

VHDL port Array

the solution is to declare
Data Types 33
TLFeBOOK
user-defined data types in a PACKAGE, which will then be visible to the whole design
(thus including the ENTITY). An example is shown below.

------- Package: --------------------------
LIBRARY ieee;
USE ieee.std_logic_1164.all;
----------------------------
PACKAGE my_data_types IS
TYPE vector_array IS ARRAY (NATURAL RANGE <>) OF
STD_LOGIC_VECTOR(7 DOWNTO 0);
END my_data_types;
--------------------------------------------

Trim function for std::string

This is a simple and efficient function to trim a string class in C++

void trim(string& astring, const char t){
   string::iterator it;
   
   for (it=astring.begin() ; it < astring.end(); it++){
      if(*it==t){
           astring.erase(it);
       };
   }
}

usage example

trim (number, ' ');

I think it is quite clear.
