replace square bus notation brackets with < and >

pula58

I imported a Verilog netlist into schematic. All is well, except all nets and pin  use square bracket bus notation ,[], instead of <>

I have tried using the "replace" function under "edit" menu in schematic but have not figured out the in and out of the character recognition syntax. Some help would be appreciated.

basically, I want to replace out[0], out[1],  etc with out<0> out<1>, etc

    Hi,

    I'n not able to upload a screenshot of Find/Replace window. You can try the following.

    Tools --> Find/Replace

    In the find and replace window, select "label" in "search for".

    Add criteria, select "text" and "=="

    Type "*\[*]"  press find at the bottom of the window - this should highlight all the pins with square brackets in the design.

    Once you see all of them found, in the replace section --> Add criteria

    select "text" -- "Change text"

    Type "*<*>"  and replace  - try with one label, -- once it's successful, you can replacing all.

    Thanks,

    Vijay Kanchetla
