How to deposit simulation result into a file?

Hi Lawrence,

Big thanks to you. I understand what you were saying. Because I were doing a circuit verification and the circuit associated with its artist state are from another guy. He used spectreS and I did not convert it yet. Is hspice the latest or spectre is better if consider a conversion? 

I tried the openResults() and then went to ocnPrint(). It worked so as to my initial purpose. Use runSimulation to get data and use ocnPrint() to get the result.

Q1: One thing about the result.txt is that I do not know how to format it. Say I want to write some plain text before each print result.

For example ( ";statement" is an comment according the SKILL):

********************** ** ;plainText 

Gain is: ;plainText 

  65dB ;ocnPrint Result

PhaseMargin is: ;plainText 

80 ;ocnPrint Result

GainBandwidth is: ;plainText 

5MHZ  ;ocnPrint Result

************************* ;plainText 

Also I am thinking even I could write the result.txt using C++ for instance, if I run the ocnPrint() the second time, it would overwrite my previous contents. Is there a way to control how to write to a file? better use one ocnPrint() to write multiple wave/variable or execute multiple ocnPrint()s?

 Q2A:

When I have the getResult.ocn, I use:

ocean -replay getResult.ocn or ocean -restore getResult.ocn  (Any difference?)

to execute it. 

Q2B: After executing the ocean script it always make the command line go into ocean interactive mode.

Because I am going to call this iteratively through C++ System("call command"), a bit worried about being into ocean interactive mode.

Therefore I tried  icfb -nograph -restore getResult.ocn

I get error message:

 *WARNING* Could not locate rgb.txt file in /usr/lib/X11

*WARNING* This file is required for color operations with the non-graphical

*WARNING* X server and many WARNING messages may follow this one!

/users/vlsi/CMC/tools/cadence/IC5141USR6_lnx86/tools.lnx86/dfII/bin/Xndx: error while loading shared libraries: libgdbm.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory.

When I delete the -nograph, it can run but bring up me a icfb window which is not good in the case of C++ iterative call of the ocnScript. I could have thousand of icfb popped up. Any idea on why I cannot proceed with -nograph property? or a way of not stepping into ocean interactive mode after execution of ocnScript?

Kind Regards,

Alex
