Very fundamental- put quotation mark(s) into a string

jorankin

I am trying to put a quotation mark into a string so that I can use a system () command to perform sed on my netlist. My netlist was modified and all of the " " 's in my netlist were removed from my .pwl file names. Now spectre won't run. Can you tell me how to do this? It is a very fundamental thing, but for some reason, it's not clear how to do this in SKILL.

Thanks,

John

  • Ted,

    This doesn't really have to do with the sed command. It is more fundamental than that. I want to be able to make a string which has a " inside of it. This sounds straightforward, but it isn't. I think I figured it out. You have to put a exit character in front of the " to put it inside of a string for a system command. For example, when I do the following:
    system(strcat("echo " "\""  "test" "\""))

    Returns: test in my shell.

    Thanks,
    John
