Hi,

I have a file as below.

<some liles> 

(track

 (layer metal1

width 0.1

)

(layer metal2

width 0.2

)

(layer metal3

width 0.3)

 I want to read this file from the beginning.When it will find track word it should check for each layer.If layer is metal1 then execute the lines with in the braces for metal1.Similarly goes for other layers.

Kindly help me writing this code.

Thanks

    That's perfect for reading with lineread. If you have the file looking like this:

    ; some comments
    (track

     (layer metal1
      width 0.1
    )

    (layer metal2
      width 0.2
    )

    (layer metal3
      width 0.3)
    )

    ) ; end of track

    I can do:

    data=lineread(port) ; first will return t because of the initial comment
    data=lineread(port) ; it will return a list with the contents the entire (track ...) list slurped in one go

    Regards,

    Andrew.
