How to load streamin for files in a directory

 Hi all,

 I write a code for this which works not properly. First I take files which contain .gds as suffi. my code is below.

 In the template File field, specify a file with path and save it. For example /template/file and click on Save button.

procedure(CCSStreamoutFiles( dirPath tempFileOrDPL @key (suffix ".gds") )
    let((gdsFileList )
        if(stringp(tempFileOrDPL) && isFile(tempFileOrDPL) then
            loadi(tempFileOrDPL)
        else
            error("\n Specify correct parameter file ...")
        ) ; if
        gdsFileList=setof(x getDirFiles(dirPath) and(isFile(x) rexMatchp(suffix x)))
      
      foreach(filename gdsFileList
            CCSImportstreamIn(strcat(dirPath "/" filename) streamInKeys filename )
               ) ; foreach
        t
    ) ; let
) ; procedure
 
 

procedure(CCSImportstreamIn(gdsFile streamInKeys filename )
    let((template fileName ipcId)
        streamInKeys~>inFile=gdsFile
        streamInKeys~>primaryCell =car(parseString(filename ".gds"))
        printf("Writing streamIn for %s to %s/%s layout\n"
            filename libName streamInKeys~>primaryCell
                 ) ; printf
        fileName=makeTempFileName("/tmp/StreamIn")
        template=outfile(fileName)
        fprintf(template "streamInKeys='%L\n" streamInKeys)
        close(template)
        ipcId=ipcBeginProcess(strcat("nino strmin " fileName))
        ipcWait(ipcId)
        deleteFile(fileName)
    ) ; let
) ; procedure
;; =============

 When i entered it in CIW

CCSStreamoutFiles("/path/directory"  "/template/file")

CIW shows :*Error* putprop: first arg must be either symbol, list, defstruct or user type -"/path/directory"

First of all, you're going to confuse yourself if the function is called CCSStreamoutFiles when actually it does a Stream In not Out.

The problem is because you've used ~> with a disembodied property list (e.g. streamInKeys~>inFile). If the left hand side is a list, it is important whether you use -> or ~>. In the case of a disembodied property list, you must use ->, otherwise if you use ~> it will apply ~> to each member of the list and return a list of the results.

So change all the streamInKeys~>... to streamInKeys->...

Whilst I'm at it, I see you're calling "nino strmin". Not sure why, because it should be "pipo strmin". "nino" is a program to do "netlist in, netlist out" (although in practice it only does a netlist import). It is the underlying program behind File->Import->CDL in IC5141 (it used to be used for some other languages too).
