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

  • I want to be able to put quotation marks in a shell command.

     

    the above example wasn't a very good one since one could do the above with or without quotation marks. In the shell, to print "test", you have to do echo "\"test\"". It would be even more fun in SKILL...ugh...

     

    In my specific case, I want to take a netlist, find a specific pattern, and insert a quotation mark in front of it. At a shell terminal, I would do this with a sed command:

     

    sed 's;pattern;"pattern;' file1>file2

    mv file2 file1
