How to find a pin in the layout using SKILL....?

Hi,
I am using the following command to search the pin called "b"  in the layout          
leSearchHierarchy(cv cv~>bBox 0 "pin" list(list("term name" "==" "b"))) 
But the output I am getting is for "*b*" not for "b"  

Any  comment , suggestion will be  deeply appriciated

Regards,
Amit

    Hi Amit,

    The GUI uses a different function - leHiSearch() does not call leSearchHierarchy() directly, and if looking within the current cellview, it calls a different function still. So, the answer is either to try and write your own pin search routine (rather than the generic capabilities of the leSearchHierarchy function), or to perhaps invoke the GUI function instead.

    Regards,

    Lawrence.
