Easy way to convert a String to a Float?

Patrick1982

Hi Everyone,

Firstly, I am using the Cadence Pcell Layout enviroment to create/modify Pcells. So in other words I am using the pcell menu within the layout window, I am not generating the pcell using skill.  I am trying to use an already supported device and I am trying to inherit certain parameters.  However, the parameters can only be inherited as a "string".  And in order to use this parameter else where within the pcell (i.e. stretch or repitition) it needs to be a "float". 

 So is there an easy way to convert a string to a float within cadence?

 Thanks very much,

Patrick

     Hi Lawrence and Andrew,

    I've got another question for you guys.  Similar to my original question, I have a string "3u" but I want to convert it to a float, is there a way for me to just ignore the "u" in the string?

    Thanks very much,

    Patrick
