Comparing instances at certain coordinates

JMCaJHU

Is there a way to compare instances at certain coordinates.  I am making a program to create an Or-Chain with a user provided number of inputs.  I have the inputs and the number of orgates created perfectly as well as the first level of routing.  However, as I progress to the second and third levels it would be easier to just use a while loop and create the next routing level based on the instances on a previous level.

Basically I am wondering if there is a command saying if the instance at (x,y) == " blahblah" then dbCreateInst(1 2 3).

Also if the command exists how is an instance compared? By name?

     Thanks. I think that keeping a list of each row would probably be the easiest method, since the routing of the next level depends on the entire previous row as opposed to just the point above it.  I'll look into the code for keeping a list and comparing instance names.
