Load String in a memory ( verilog )

[afro_cv]

Before i tell my problem, sorry for my english..i don't speak very well.
i creat a memory rom

reg [7:0] rom[255];

I know it's only one character

Now i must put strings in memory, something like that (i know that doesn''t possible)

rom[0:7]="Helder_7";
rom[8:15]="Iloveyou"

The rest it's for future expansive (it's a example)

how i can make that in verilog, i try that in modelsim...but don't work.

I am thinking doing a program in C, read the strings to introduce in ROM and create a file to $readmemh.

What you need to do is to convert your string to it's ASCII presentation, then assign each element of you memory with those values.
