sort List of Instances

Zdeno

Hello,

 I would like to sort list of instances created by

instList = setof(inst cv->instances inst->cellName == "cnf_digi")

result is

"|column_digi(1)|cnf_digi"

"|column_digi(0)|cnf_digi"

"|column_digi(15)|cnf_digi"

"|column_digi(14)|cnf_digi"

"|column_digi(13)|cnf_digi"

"|column_digi(12)|cnf_digi"

"|column_digi(11)|cnf_digi"

"|column_digi(10)|cnf_digi"

"|column_digi(9)|cnf_digi"

"|column_digi(8)|cnf_digi"

"|column_digi(7)|cnf_digi"

"|column_digi(6)|cnf_digi"

"|column_digi(5)|cnf_digi"

"|column_digi(4)|cnf_digi"

"|column_digi(3)|cnf_digi"

"|column_digi(2)|cnf_digi"

 I tried used

(sort instList lambda (A B)(alphalessp (A->name)(B->name))))

But result is

"|column_digi(1)|cnf_digi"

"|column_digi(10)|cnf_digi"

"|column_digi(11)|cnf_digi"

"|column_digi(12)|cnf_digi"

"|column_digi(13)|cnf_digi"

"|column_digi(14)|cnf_digi"

"|column_digi(15)|cnf_digi"

"|column_digi(2)|cnf_digi"

"|column_digi(3)|cnf_digi"

"|column_digi(4)|cnf_digi"

"|column_digi(5)|cnf_digi"

"|column_digi(6)|cnf_digi"

"|column_digi(7)|cnf_digi"

"|column_digi(8)|cnf_digi"

"|column_digi(9)|cnf_digi"

alphalessp doesn't know sort integer in string as lessp. Is there any possibilities how to sort list of instances according to their names without complicated parsing string to integer and use lessp command?

 

Thank you very much for answer in advance.

 

Best regards,

 

Zdenko Janoska

    Hi Zdenko,

    (sort instList (lambda (A B) (minusp (alphaNumCmp A->name B->name t))))

    Should do what you want.

    Andrew.

     Hi Andrew,

    still there is a problem. I have list of terminals with names:

    "clk_cnt_column<17>"

    "clk_cnt_column<16>"

    "clk_cnt_column<15>"

    "clk_cnt_column<14>"

    "clk_cnt_column<13>"

    "clk_cnt_column<12>"

    "clk_cnt_column<11>"

    "clk_cnt_column<10>"

    "clk_cnt_column<9>"

    "clk_cnt_column<8>"

    "clk_cnt_column<7>"

    "clk_cnt_column<6>"

    "clk_cnt_column<5>"

    "clk_cnt_column<4>"

    "clk_cnt_column<3>"

    "clk_cnt_column<2>"

    "clk_cnt_column<1>"

    "clk_cnt_column<0>"

    "clk_cnt_column<255>"

    "clk_cnt_column<254>"

    =>

    "clk_cnt_column<19>"

    "clk_cnt_column<18>"

     

    and by using

    (sort termList (lambda (A B) (minusp (alphaNumCmp A->name B->name t))))

    in the result first 17 items are missing

    "clk_cnt_column<17>"

    "clk_cnt_column<18>"

    "clk_cnt_column<19>"

    "clk_cnt_column<20>"

     =>

    "clk_cnt_column<255>"

    if using plusp

     (sort termList (lambda (A B) (plusp (alphaNumCmp A->name B->name t))))

    just first 18 items are in the result

    "clk_cnt_column<17>"

    "clk_cnt_column<16>"

    "clk_cnt_column<15>"

    "clk_cnt_column<14>"

    "clk_cnt_column<13>"

    "clk_cnt_column<12>"

    "clk_cnt_column<11>"

    "clk_cnt_column<10>"

    "clk_cnt_column<9>"

    "clk_cnt_column<8>"

    "clk_cnt_column<7>"

    "clk_cnt_column<6>"

    "clk_cnt_column<5>"

    "clk_cnt_column<4>"

    "clk_cnt_column<3>"

    "clk_cnt_column<2>"

    "clk_cnt_column<1>"

    "clk_cnt_column<0>"

    Am I missing any concept with list sorting?

    Thank you for answer in advance.

    Best regards, Zdenko

    Hi Zdenko,

    My guess is that you're looking at the variable termList, rather than using the return value of sort. sort is a destructive list operator; it modifies the list in place and so you should never rely on the variable that you passed in (it will only be correct if the first entry in the original list ended up as the first entry after sorting). So you should always do:

    termList=sort(termList ...)

    Regards,

    Andrew.

    Thank you very much. That is true. Now it is working very vell.

    Regards, Zdenko
