Pass Path and Filename via Variable in ADEXL

Hi!

I'm using ADEXL and pass DC state files to a transient simulation. Up to here this concept works fine for me.

In the transient simulation I put VAR("readic") for readic, and then I want to give different files for different corners.

Definining a filename is no problem, e.g. "spectre.ic", however when I include a full unix path I get netlisting errors, e.g. "/path/spectre.ic". Netlisting error is gone when I remove the initial slash, but then he won't find the file. Is there any restriction that strings are not allowed to start with a slash? When I put the same content directly in the transient analysis readic box, it works well.

Anybody faced the same problem before?

Thanks, Sebastian
