Send a command from Perl to Skill

Khurana

Hi,

I'd to know how to pass a command from Perl to Skill...say I want to pass "Hello from Perl" string to Skill, then how can I do that?  I know that I need to invoke perl.exe and the perl file (.pl) using ipcSkillProcess() wherein I provide the exe and path to the perl file as noted below, I still am not sure how Skill will read the info from the Perl file - any ideas?

cid = ipcSkillProcess("D:/perl/per.exe d:/script/myperl.pl"

Here's a line from myperl.pl:
print "Hello from Perl\n";

Thanks,
Varun

  • Hi Lawrence,

    Thanks for your time, but I still don't get it.   Here's what I am struggling with...based on Sourcelink Sol. 11252036 here's what my perl code looks like:

    hello_perl.pl perl code:

    my $fd = 3;
    my $fd2 = 4;
    open(F, ">&=$fd");
    my $cmd_to_send = "SkillCommand()";
    print F $cmd_to_send;
    close F;

    where SkillCommand() is a procedure defined as follows:

    procedure( SkillCommand()
    cnSendCommand(cnhandle "echo hi")
    ); end procedure

    where cnSendCommand is used to send the command named echo hi to Allegro Design Entry HDL's (aka Concept's) command console and "hi" appears in the command console.  This is just a simple example; the object here is to send a command string from the Perl script to ADEHDL's Command Console using this methodology.

    Then, the main Skill code contains the following:

    procedure(from_perl()
    let((cid process)
    process="C:/Perl/bin/perl.exe" D:/ipc/hello_perl.pl"
    cid=ipcSkillProcess(process)

    So, when invoke the from_perl() Skill function, I expect to see "hi" without quotes in ADEHDL's Command Console but doesn't work for me.  If there's something fundamentally wrong, then I appreciate the help.

    Thanks,
    Varun
