define specs in adexl in text editor or batch mode? or batch tool for checking vdsat and vsat_margin?

I have something like 100 lines in ade-xl that I want to define its specs and all specs are same. I really don't want to click them one by one for 100 times. I know how to do that in text files with MARCO, but it seems there is nothing like loading the specs or outputs from text files options.

Also, I want to check certain transistors' vdsat and vsat_margin. I have gone through the pain to click each of them and add them into the outputs windows of ade-xl. Is there a way to do it easily?

Regards

    On the ADE XL outputs pane there is both a "save" and "load" icon which allow saving to and loading from CSV. These allow the specs to be entered in the CSV file, which you could then load.

    So you absolutely can do this already.

    Regards,

    Andrew.

    It works with a little problem.

    My input is 

    test:1,,expr,"pv(""I67.M52\\<1\\>"" ""vsat_marg"" ?result ""dcOpInfo"")",t,,> 50m

    My output becomes (> 50m in the end disappear)

    wolverhamptonTBLib:sim_tx_bias_mc_PVT_v8:1,,expr,"pv(""I67.M52<1>"" ""vsat_marg"" ?result ""dcOpInfo"")",t,,

    Instead, I need to define my input as 

    test:1,,expr,"pv(""I67.M52<1>"" ""vsat_marg"" ?result ""dcOpInfo"")",t,,> 50m
