How to get back to tcl after exiting in OCEAN and/or SKILL?

Hi All,

Good Day. 

I 'am running tcl in compiling/creating OCEAN and/or SKILL files. When I exit in OCEAN and/or SKILL I can't get back to tcl to compile the remaining tcl codes. Is there a way to get back to tcl after exiting in OCEAN and/or SKILL?

Thank you very much in advance.

Regards,

Reinice

    Hi Andrew,

    I tried your suggestion adding "global finished" within the main proc. It did not exit in ocean. I checked the processes running with "ps" and it is still running.

    I made some workaround that worked. Here's my script:

    proc main {design_user tool_u analysis_name} {

    proc showOutput {channel} {
      global finished

      gets $channel line

      set finished [string match "*Finished*" $line]

      puts $finished
      if {$finished == 1} {
        close $channel
      } else {
        puts $line
      }
    }
      
    set finished 0

    set my_IO [open "| ocean -restore myScript.ocn"]
    fconfigure $my_IO -buffering line
    fileevent $my_IO readable [list showOutput $my_IO]

    puts $finished
    vwait finished

    puts "NOTE: simulation has now finished"

    main $design_user $tool_u $analysis_name 

    }

    In myScript.ocn there's a line at the end of the file that shows it "Finished" it's execution. This workaround exits in ocean session and returned in main procedure.

    Thanks and Regards,
