I have written a code to search the instances or array of a specific cell name. So, I would like to write the contents in to a excel file. Please let me know which is the command that needs to used along with this skill code.

Hi,

Below is the script which works fine to search for a specific instances or arrays.

a=geGetWindowCellView()
e=leSearchHierarchy(a a~>bBox 32 "inst" list(list("cell name" "==" "x")))
f=leSearchHierarchy(a a~>bBox 32 "array" list(list("cell name" "==" "x")))

I would like to write these(list of e & f) contents in to a excel file.

Thanks & Regards,

Madhu

    Hi Madhu,

    There's no public SKILL API to write a Microsoft Excel file from Virtuoso. However, you could either write an HTML file (Excel can read HTML tables as if it was a spreadsheet if you give the file the suffix .xls) or you could just write out CSV (comma-separated value) files. Both of these are just a matter of simple text formatting and don't really need any special API to write them - you can use the normal fprintf() function to do it. Especially as the detail of precisely what you want to write out is unclear.

    Anyway, this should be enough to get you moving forward.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
