How to get the attribute of any label

Hi,

I have the following piece of code to get the attribute [name/text] of any label in a layout but it does not show up in theexecution

 
  foreach(x cv~>shapes
  when(x~>objType=="label"
   if(x~>label~>text==net_name
    then
    println( "OK" )
        else
    println( "WRONG" )

 **************************************************

net_name is a variable which I am passing through a form.

Question:

How to access the text attribute of any label?

I am aware of getting a name of any net.

Thanks in advance,

Vijay

    The quickest way to see what attributes are on a particular object type, is to use this notation:

    obj~>?

    To see every object and its value:

    obj~>??

    A quick test would be to select a label in the Virtuoso window, then run this in the CIW:

    car(selectedSet())~>??
