search for anything

i have a short question. is it possible to search a list for any entries. it's a little bit difficult to describe. so in if you use the searchfunction in windows, you can type " *.mp3 " to search the directory for all mp3 data. and there are something like this in cadence? i want to search all cells in a library which begins with "top" for example. and the function should found all cells like "top_1" "top_2" "top_hello" or so, for example.

so i hope you can follow my drifts.

Hi Philip,
In IC61X, you have the search assistant. This is under Windows->Assistants->Search and it allows you to do this kind of search.In IC614, it's in Virtuoso Layout Suite L, and Virtuoso Schematic Editor XL (in IC615 this is waterfalled into VSE L).
Regards,
Andrew.

I'm not sure what kind of result you want, but here are two ways to do it:
lib = ddGetObj("myLibrary")
topCellNames = rexMatchList("top*" lib~>cells~>name)
topCellIds = setof(x lib~>cells rexMatchp("top*" x~>name))
Also, in the Library Manager, under the View menus is something called "Filters". Enter "top*" as the cell name filter and the library manager will only show you cells that match that filter.
