how to search for specific devices/models into spectre netlist?

 Hi there,

 I want to know if it is possible with SKILL functions to scan a spectre netlist for specific devices.

We have a spectre netlist file and we want to search for devices of a specific model or devices with specific properties (e.g. w < 0.XX um ).

If such devices/instances are found  to warn the deigner:

            In cell ABC we found device D (model=model_X, w=0.zz )

And based on those info he shoudl decice if really want to run the simulation of not.

 

 Do we have such things in SKILL?

I want to run it from command line, some other scripting is OK if SKILL has no such functionality.

Best Regards,

Marcel

     Hi Andrew,

    "subs" is exactly what I want.

    Started to read Spectre Circuit Simulator User Guide :D, it seems to be extreamly powerful.

    BR,
