Update the contents in Viewfile

nidon

Dear Sir.

I want to write a code to show some information.For example,if I write a code:

i= 0

while(i<10

printf("the number is %n.\n" i)

i++)

and I load it in CIW,then it will show the information in CIW window.But if I want to show these massages in a view widonw ,how could I do?

I just tied to use view command ,but it showed 10 view windows(I just want to showed a view windows,and the window can update the contents by the massage.

 

Thanks for you reply.

Thank you!

    Two things you want here:

             hiTextDisplayString(
                  gds_info
                  sprintf(nil "Writing GDS for %s/%s/%s to %s\n"  libName cellName viewName   streamOutKeys->outFile)
                  nil
                  ; additional arg t ensures that it scrolls to bottom
                  t)
            ; ensure window gets repainted if damaged (e.g. obscured)
            hiFlush()

    It will work with just the additional t in the hiTextDisplayString(), but it's better with the hiFlush() too as that means that if the log window gets obscured and then uncovered again, it repairs the contents.

    Regards,

    Andrew.

    Hi Andrew,

    I have write a script to run pvs and used system command to run. I have directed pvs log into the file netlist_log_file.

    This is my command to run pvs.

    system( strcat("ipvs -nograph -any_flow -svs -preset " file_name " >& ./netlist_log_file"))

    Now I need a gui to view this log file. I have tried creating text window, read each line from the log file and print it on the gui.

    There are 2 drawbacks in  that method:

    1.The textdisplay will executes only after system command completes.( I need to view the log file when the pvs runs)

    2.The log file is large(aruond 7K lines) so reading each line and printing it will take time.

    Once this completes I need to run the pvs for different cell and the same gui should continue to display as the netlist_log_file gets over written.

    Can you help me on this?

    Thanks

    Harish

    Hi Harish,

    The easiest would be to use view("./netlist_log_file" nil nil t)

    This will auto-update as the file changes.
