VI Editor Script

xv12
I am using the function dbWriteSkill to dump the layout to a file and want to modify to just stretch the length and everything contact metal implant will also stretch.
I want to use the vi editor to modify.  Does anyone have a quick way to do it. For me I have to delete one by one and it take a longtime  
Below is the partial dump file
dbD_0xcd1f768 = dbCreatePolygon(dbD_0xcc0c42c list(16 252)
 list(2.650000e+01:2.930000e+01 2.240000e+01:2.930000e+01 2.240000e+01:7.000000e+00
      7.000000e+00:7.000000e+00 7.000000e+00:2.520000e+01 2.240000e+01:2.520000e+01
      2.240000e+01:2.930000e+01 2.900000e+00:2.930000e+01 2.900000e+00:2.900000e+00
      2.650000e+01:2.900000e+00 ) )
And this is what I want to change.
 (pcLayer = 16)
 (pcPurpose = "drawing")
 (pcInst = dbCreatePolygon(pcCellView
  list(pcLayer pcPurpose)
  list((26.5:(29.3 + l_float0offset))
      (22.4:(29.3 + l_float0offset))
      (22.4:7.0)
      (7.0:7.0)
      (7.0:(25.2 + l_float0offset))
      (22.4:(25.2 + l_float0offset))
      (22.4:(29.3 + l_float0offset))
      (2.9:(29.3 + l_float0offset))
      (2.9:2.9)
      (26.5:2.9)
  )

  • Why would you want to do it this way? The Skill language is sufficient to be able to adjust all those coordinate values without you having to dump a text file, edit that text file in vi and then reload it. If you can explain more clearly what you wish to do with the layout (rather than explaining the odd methodology), I'm sure someone on this forum can help you.

    Which shapes do you want to modify? ("everything contact metal implant" is a little unclear)
    How do you want to modify them? ("stretch the length" - are you wanting to stretch all in the y direction by l_float0offset?)

    foreach(shp geGetEditCellView()~>shapes
      when(member(shp~>layerName list("contact" "metal" "implant))
        case(shp~>objType
          ("polygon"
            newPtList=nil
            foreach(pt shp~>points
              do something with the point and build a new point list
            )
            shp~>points=newPtList
          )
          ("rect"
            adjust the bbox
            shp~>bBox = bBox
          )
          ("path"
            newPtList=nil
            foreach(pt shp~>points
              do something with the point and build a new point list
            )
            shp~>points=newPtList
          )
          (t
            printf("Found %s objType and did not adjust it\n" shp~>objType)
          )
        )
      )
    )
