Running perl from skill and getting output one at a time

Pawandeep

Hi

I would like to run a perl program from my Allegro PCB Skill code.

I have skill code like below
procedure(test()
        cid=ipcBeginProcess("perl C:/test.pl")
        ipcReadProcess(cid 5)
)

The perl program(test.pl) is reading data/values from text files containing multiple lines and printing out values using foreach loop(till EOF)

I would like to have some kind of blocking method to pass the values to skill code one at a time(and then returning to perl to run next) so as to manupulate in skill.

  • Hello Andrew,
     
    I am looking for some kind of handshaking protocol as you have mentioned, but parseString will not be suitable to handle large data.
     
    The reason for passing values one at time is to have a method to store the values in some variable in skill(and further do manupulations in skill) and then return to perl to get the next value.
     
    The reason for posting here was that I saw some post from this forum in the past but was not able to find any relevant material and most of them from you :-)
     
    In anyways, I will try to look in to ipcWriteProcess as you have mentioned.
