Thanks for the answer, Tricky.

I tried and then there are some other errors.

Error (10327): VHDL error at mess_extractor.vhd(278): can't determine definition of operator ""&"" -- found 4 possible definitions

Error (10647): VHDL type inferencing error at mess_extractor.vhd(278): type of expression is ambiguous - "std_ulogic_vector" or "std_logic_vector" are two possible matches
