SKILL Api to read sexp file

Assuming that by "sexp" you mean "s-expression", then lineread() is what you want.

Andrew.

 Yup, thats s-expression file.

lineread will do? Let me try it out.

Thanks a lot, Andrew.

Thanks Adrew.

It works, must i still need to post-processing the result.

Appreciate if u have any example so i can refer? I was thinking the result will build as a list where i can directly obtain the info.

How,

I don't understand. You can directly obtain the info from the list. For example, if I have a file "config" which looks like this:

(nil
  library "mylib"
  cell "mycell"
  view "layout"
  works t
  expensive "very"
  )

Then I do:

port=infile("config")
data=car(lineread(port))
close(port)

now I can do data->library and data->view etc. Note the car - this is needed because lineread returns a list of forms, as there could be more than one form (sexp) on each line.

Regards,

Andrew.
