netlisting expressions

jmss

Hi,

I'd like to detect whether a netlisting parameter is an expressions or not.

This is because HSPICE requires ' or " around expressions, e.g., w = 'wx + 5e-9'

In SKILL, how can I check if a string is an expression and needs quoting or not?

Thanks.

    I tried replying to this thread, but for some reason got a blank post - so here's trying again...

    I'm not sure I understand why you'd need this because the hspiceD netlister (for example) - the hspice netlister in ADE - will do this quoting as part of netlisting.

    If you really needed to (for reasons I don't understand - please explain why) you could use the ael.* functions.

    Regards,

    Andrew
