Shell Search in Result Browser

HongJian
HongJian over 1 year ago

In post-layout simulation, there are an array of net voltages being saved in result browser. For example,

  • net_name[1]
  • net_name[1]:1
  • net_name[1]:2
  • ....
  • net_name[2]
  • net_name[2]:1
  • ...
  • Other nets...

Those net with ":" are sub-net found in layout.

Goal:

  1. Filter out net_name[1]
    1. Problem faced: Square bracket could not be recognized in the shell search. No matches at all.
    2. Solution Tried: Tried to use *"net_name["* but still no match.
  2. Only show net's voltage without ":"
    1. Problem faced: Found negate syntax for shell pattern matching but could not tried it out. 
    2. Solution Tried: net_name*[^:]* but no correct match
  3. Filter out net_name[1] and without ":"

Can someone help me point out the correct syntax? RegExp solution is acceptable too. Thanks as it will help me work more efficent in work!

    Your fuzzy screenshot doesn't show anything (not sure whether you meant to).

    Anyway, some answers (I'm not entirely sure what exactly you want to include in the results)

    1. If you wanted to find all the signals with net_name[ in then you could search (with shell search) using *net_name[[]* (the [] means a set of characters)
    2. Maybe this: net_name[[][0-9]*[]]

    I'm not sure there's really a way of negating the search - i.e. to give the results not matched. I think the regular expression syntax is quite limited (it's not really documented).

    If this is what you want, I would suggest you contact customer support; it may need an enhancement.
