removing quotes in skill

PK2017

Hi,

Is there an function available in cadence skill to remove double quotes?

I need to provide a = "0:0"  as input to a function, which wont take double quotes.

Please help.

Thanks

PK

  • Hi PK,

    You can use "evalstring" or "errsetstring" to evaluate the value/expression in the string and then supply it to another function.  The latter is safer and allows you to programmatically catch any errors.  Hopefully this is what you were looking for?

    Best regards,

    Lawrence.

  • Thank you Lawrence for the quick reply.
    One more question.
    I am trying to add a label to my layout using dbCreatelabel function.
    I was not able to specify the layer purpose using this.
    I have tried the following, its not working
    dbCreateLabel(cv "M10.pin" 0:0 "test" "centerCenter" "R0" "stick" 0.5)
    dbCreateLabel(cv "M10 pin" 0:0 "test" "centerCenter" "R0" "stick" 0.5)
    dbCreateLabel(cv 202.74 0:0 "test" "centerCenter" "R0" "stick" 0.5)
    Please help.

    Thanks
    PK

  • dbCreateLabel(cv list("M10" "pin") 0:0 "test" "centerCenter" "R0" "stick" 0.5)

    is what you want. You can specify the layer number and purpose number too (so if that's 202 and 74, it would be list(202 74) ). However, specifying by name is almost certainly a better solution as it isolates you from the details of how the layer numbers and purpose numbers have been assigned for that technology.

    Regards,
