convert "<>" into "[]" in pin names

Hi Venu,

Are you talking about schematic or layout?

If it's layout ,how did you get layout pin names with "<>"?Did you import P&R gds  file?

What version of Cadence are you using?

Regards,

Eduard Raines

 hi,

Sorry for less  information. Iam talking about layout. We have top level layout that has pinNames ending with "[" like thi[1], vb[2],fg[3],..... I need to convert it into thi<1>,vb<2>,fg<3>....

Iam using the version 5.1.4.1

Thank you,

venu

 hi all,

I have a code  belongs to this topic. But it doesn't work properly. It convert Vreg[32], Vreg[31] into Vreg<32>, Vreg<32> . Can u verify it?

 If it works that enough to my expertetions.

hi all,

I found above code in cadence library. The actual code is below.  It converts label "Aenu<23>" into "Aenu<23>[23]". But i need to convert label  "Aenu<23>" into "Aenu[23]".

 hi guys.

I done this script. It works good. Thank you very much.
