methods for variable integer to string conversion

JMCaJHU

 Is there any way to convert a variable of the integer type to a string.  Currently i must create a set of pins with names varying from IN0 onward.  I tried everything from casting the int to string with quotations to evaluating the symbol/variable then casting into a string with symbolToString.  All seem to be limited with no direct way from int to string.  Currently i have resorted to using random naming for the program to work as follows:

 for(j 0 n

if(j==0 then
db_outnet=dbCreateNet(db_outcell "IN0")
db_figId = dbCreateRect(db_outcell  list("METAL1")  list(0:5.025 0.375:5.4))
dbCreatePin(db_outnet db_figId "IN0")

else
outname=symbolToString(gensym('IN))
db_outnet=dbCreateNet(db_outcell outname)
db_figId = dbCreateRect(db_outcell  list("METAL1")  list(0:(3.7+rth*j) 0.375:(rth*j+4.1)))
dbCreatePin(db_outnet db_figId outname)

outname=symbolToString(gensym('IN))
db_outnet=dbCreateNet(db_outcell outname)
db_figId = dbCreateRect(db_outcell  list("METAL1")  list(0:(5.025+rth*j) 0.375:(rth*j+5.4)))
dbCreatePin(db_outnet db_figId outname) 

 This creates IN0 then continues creating input pins in numerical order from a random index.  I need to be able to create "IN" + j.string in java terms.

  • Hi Derek,

    Thank you for your nice suggestion.   

    It appears that even if I choose to use tables, I would still need to create as many tables as there're variables which comes to the same as having to declare as many variables if I choose array.

    enterString:

    I want to enter parameters like space, trace width etc. for my transformer (ROD based) code in the CIW window. I want to be prompted for data entry when I load the file. An example would be quite helpful to understand its usage.

      Did find the usage in the 'skillfinder' but without any example. Skill language reference doesn't even list this command.

    Thanks,

    Adil.
