Problem reading a big txt file using system console and loading it to a SDRAM

Hi forum,

I'm trying to load a txt file containing 1350000 32 bits words to the SDRAM of a DE0 nano dev board but system console is freezing or crashing. I've tried to read the whole file and loading it to a variable (set data [split $file_data "\n"]) and then write it to the SDRAM in a single command (master_write_32 $m $sdram $data) but that crashes system console instantly. Then i tried to read the file line by line and, on each line, i would write it to the SDRAM, using the following code:

--- Quote Start ---

while { [gets $fp line] >= 0 } {

foreach word [split $line] {

master_write_32 $m [expr $SDRAM+[expr ($i*4)]] $line

incr i

}

}

--- Quote End ---

I left the code running for a whole day just to find that system console froze :( the code worked perfectly for a file with only 10k lines.

So i came to ask for help, is there any other way to do this? Is there a way to break the big file into small files using tcl?

Thanks for the help.
