How to quickly find device category?

Given that you've only shown part of your code, it's hard to see what you're doing. Given that you have a gets() in the while loop - and maybe a second gets reading nextLine later on, it's unclear to me what's going on or what's not working. It's also odd that you're using both pcre and rex functions - looks a little unstructured.

Hi Andrew,

 I am new to the community.cadence.com, many thanks to you as your solutions for different users queries are helped me a lot.

Please help me to get solution for below query,

Can we get list of cells under specified Category - MOSFETS (which has again a subcategory branches, like CMOS, DEMOS..etc)of a library. And I tried with ddCatFindCat, ddCatGetCatMemers commands, but failed to get cells if MOSFETS has many inner recursive subcategories.

Thanks and regards,

Hi Basavaraj,

Without writing something special, I could reuse this existing function I wrote a while back:

/***************************************************************
*                                                              *
*             (abTraverseCats lib catName cellTab)             *
*                                                              *
*     Given a libId, a category name, and the table we're      *
*    using to collect the information, recursively traverse    *
*   the categories to collect which categories are used for    *
*                          each cell.                          *
*                                                              *
***************************************************************/

(procedure (abTraverseCats lib catName cellTab)
  (let (catId)
       (setq catId (ddCatOpen lib catName "r"))
       (foreach catMember (ddCatGetCatMembers catId)
                (case (cadr catMember)
                      ("cell"
                       (setarray cellTab (car catMember)
                                 (cons catName 
                                       (arrayref cellTab (car catMember)))))
                      ("category"
                       (abTraverseCats lib (car catMember) cellTab))
                      (t
                       (printf "Unexpected membere type %L\n" (cadr catMember)))
                      )
                )
       (ddCatClose catId)
       )
  )

You can then do:

cellTable=makeTable('cellTable nil)
abTraverseCats(ddGetObj("analogLib") "Sources" cellTable)
listOfCells=cellTable->?

Hope I've understood your question properly.

Andrew

Thanks a lot Andrew! It works for me as I expected.
