How to parse a string in skill?

Sandeep4386

Hi,

I want to parse a string and rename it.

e.g. I would like to check for a cell name, and if there is an hyphen(-) in a cell name, I would like to convert it to an underscore(_).

so if a cell name is 'create-gds'  I want to convert it to 'create_gds'. Any help would be appreciated.

    Sandeep,

    In IC61, you can do:

    ; only need to compile the pattern once
    hyphen=pcreCompile("-")
    ; then any time you need to do the replace, can reference the pattern object in var hyphen
    cellName="create-gds"
    newCell=pcreReplace(hyphen cellName "_" 0)

    In IC61 and IC5141 you can use the less powerful rex functions (but the compiled pattern will get overwritten if it is used elsewhere since it only has a single compiled pattern at once):

    rexCompile("-")
    cellName="create-gds"
    newCell=rexReplace(cellName "_" 0)

    The pcre functions have a much richer pattern matching syntax - see the PCRE web site for more details.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
