Importing corner setup from CSV with double quotes

I would like to import my "corner setup" into ADE Assembler from a CSV file.

One of the variables defined is a file name that needs to be specified with double quotes or Cadence/Spectre will not run.

In normal CSV files, double quotes are included by escaping them with a second double quote.

However, importing the corner setup from CSV doesn't like it whether I use one, two, or three double quotes.

Is there a way to import a corner setup from CSV that supports double quotes?

This is the error I get:

ERROR (ASSEMBLER-2053): Cannot import data from the CSV file '/path/to/file/corners_test.csv' because the quotation marks used in row 8 are invalid. Ensure that the quotation marks used to enclose string values are specified in pairs. To use a quotation mark as part of a string value, enclose the string value by a pair of quotation marks and replace the quotation mark within the string with two consecutive quotation marks.

I just tried it by doing this (I created it by hand in the UI and exported it, and then was able to import it):

Corner,C0 Enable,t Temperature,30 MYSPFILE,"""file2.s2p"",""file3.s2p""" t Test::mylib_forumCSV_1,t

That worked fine (in IC6.1.8.500.14)

Ok thanks for checking Andrew. I am using ICADV12.3-64b.500.22. I'm not familiar with the version numbers, maybe this is older?

Hi Mike,

I didn't have that precise advanced node release, but that's equivalent (from ADE - identical in fact) to IC6.1.7 ISR22. I tried it there and it worked fine (with the CSV I showed above). Perhaps you could share the CSV you tried to use?

Hi Andrew,

Thanks for your response. Your CSV filed worked fine. It turned out the problem was that I had created the CSV file in Excel in windows. Once I ran dos2unix on the CSV file it now is imported without problem into the corner setup. There were some differences in non-printing characters that may have been causing the problem.
