SKILL code to match string pattern

jdavis2

Hi there - I have code that checks every instance in the schematic and if the cellname matches some value, it deletes it.  Right now the code only works if I know the exact cell name.  Is there a way to match pattern in SKILL?  

Current form:

if (inst->cellName == "a9bcd")

then 

<delete the cell a9bcd>

I would like to do:

if (inst->cellName == "*bcd*")

then

<delete cells with words bcd in the name>

    Try:

    if(rexMatchp("bcd" inst~>cellName)

  • kb how
    mapcar( 'dbDeleteObject setof(x geGetEditCellView()~>instances rexMatchp("pattern" x))

    How, that is close, but you need to involve the cellName:

    mapcar( 'dbDeleteObject setof(x geGetEditCellView()~>instances rexMatchp("*bcd*" x~>cellName))

    Something like that ...
