Copy text from file to another using SKILL

Hi Taher,

ccpCopy is for copying cellviews, so if you have just a plain text file, you can just use text manipulation functions for reading and writing to files to do a copy operation (for example, the following functions might be useful to you: infile, outfile, read, lineread, linereadstring, getc, getchar, fprintf) .

Hope this helps!

Lawrence.

I was trying to figure out what Taher was actually asking - if Lawrence's response doesn't answer your question, please explain precisely what you're trying to do - otherwise we have to guess.

 Lawrence and Andrew, thanks for your reply

The issue i'm trying to figure out is that i have code which saves results of cadence simulation parameter into a file using outfile() function. what i want to do is to save results from repeatitive attempt to run the code in one file. the problem with outfile() as far i know is that it overwites previously saved data when saving a new data into the same file, so the whole previous data is gone. This is my problem ?. In order for me trying to address the problem, i thought that i can write a code to save the first data in a certain file and save data from the next run in a different file, then write another code to copy the data from the second file to the first file. that's what i was trying to ask, but if there is a direct simple way to do that, i'd be very grateful

Thanks again

The simplest solution to your problem would be to pass "a" as the optional second argument to outfile(). If you do that, it opens the file in append mode. Then it will add to the end of the file, rather than overwriting it.
