linread command error out when trying to read in complex lines

mlea

Hi,

Im using lineread command to read in from an input port .

Im reading the verilog si log file m which contain line such as ( start with):

/p/virtuoso/blabla

and also:

*/sdf/bla

the command lineread error out with syntax error, maybe because it is intended to parse things more than read in complex list ( which is what the  line is)

i tried other commands as well : read , linereadstring.  also sprintf("" %L lineread(line)) doesnt help..

what can be done is such cases?

thx

meny

    Hi Meny,

    Use gets(). lineread and the other functions you tried are using the SKILL parser intentionally - things that don't conform to SKILL syntax should not be read with that family of functions.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
