Read and follow nets

Hi All

I am trying to  write a simple SKILL script to do the following:

1. Look for a particular output port in symbol A,

2.Follow the net connected to this port and the input of symbol B

3.Report the outputs of symbol B.

Please let me know if there are predefined function that do some kind of a read port, find connected net tasks. I am very new to SKILL and would greatly appreciate any help.

 Thanks,

 RH

     Sorry, I dont think that was a clear request at all. I want the script to open a given schematic, locate a symbol (A), follow a net connected to one particular output port(say X), follow that net to another symbol (B) and then report B's outputs. 

    THe algorithm ,you can see is fairly simple but I can't seem to locate the functions to do the following tasks

    Read ports of a symbol in a given schematic

    Check for a matching  net name on the port of another symbol

     

    Thanks,

    RH
