Issue with importing csv file to the ADEXL outputs

greywanderer

Hi,

I have transistors in the schematic named Mxx<5:0> and want to observe the "gm" of Mxx<5>. After accessing this in the results browser and storing in the outputs and then exporting it as a csv file, the transistor appears as "Mxx\\<5\\>". But when I make similar modifications to the rest of the occurrences in the csv file and import it to the output of the adexl, I get the following error,

"

value(pv("Mxx\<
                        ^^
PARSER WARNING at line 1 column 28 of file *string*
*WARNING* (Parser): character found after backslash is not meaningful - '\<'

"

What am I doing wrong? Any suggestions on managing such name formats in the csv files for the ADEXL outputs?

Thanks!

    The challenge appears to be if the expression is in quotes (and you have the "escaped" quotes embedded within). If it's like this:

    library:cell:test,Ids0p5u_Mnb5,expr,value(pv("ux1.ux2.Mnb\\<5\\>" "ids" ?result "tranOpTimed") 5e-07),t,,

    then it works with no problems.

    If you have the surrounding quotes in place, there's an extra layer of parsing, so that means you need to double-up the backslashes to (yes) four!

    library:cell:test,Ids0p5u_Mnb5,expr,"value(pv(""ux1.ux2.Mnb\\\\<5\\\\>"" ""ids"" ?result ""tranOpTimed"") 5e-07)",t,,

    The joys of escape characters!

    I see. The double quotes were placed there when I exported to a csv file and I assumed they needed to be so.

    Thanks much!
