does dbFindAnyInstByName support wildcard or case-insensitive?

Blues

Hi Guys,

I got some error messages from 3-rd party tools like "xichip.xiip.ximid.m3", I wish to write a skill to descend into the last hier level and generate marker on the device m3, I plan to use the geSwitch to switch to the hier.

But when I parse the error message, I found the instance name is not match with the schematic, in schematic, the instance name is like "Ichip", "IIp", "IMID", etc., how to handle this kind of instance name? as you know, the spice netlist is case-insensitive, so the simulation tools always treat anythings as lower-case.

I also tried dbFindAnyInstByName, and found it is also case-sensitive, is there any skill function can read the instance name with case-insensitive? or even wildcard?

Best Regards,

Blues

    Blues,

    No. You'd have to search along cvId~>instances yourself.

    Bear in mind that adding markers on the leaf cell may not make much sense if the problem does not occur on every occurence of that leaf cell...
