Reading a parametrized cdf parameter

kglaros

Hi, 

I am trying to read the CDF parameters of a FET.

My problem is that some of them refer to other CDF parameters via iPar().

So if I do: p1=cdfGetInstCDF(inst)~>parameters

v1=car(parameters)~>value 

Then I get v1="iPar("\width\")", instead of the numerical value.

This is fair enough and expected, but I was wondering if there is an easy way to get the evaluated value of the parameter returned rather than the string?

I could write a function to do this iterating through the parameters, but I am currently extracting the values of several parameters via lists (setof) and so if there is a built-in function to do this it would be more convenient. 

 

Thanks for the help.

    Kostas,

    The ge stuff is only really needed to compute the "lineage" (i.e. the hierarchical path down to this occurrence), which is only needed if you want to be able to cope with pPar() evaluation too. If you can generate the lineage another way, or don't care about pPar() evaluation, you can effectively omit the bit which sets the lineage, or set it to be something basic.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
