Equivalent function for hiDisplayFileDialog in IC5

Hi,

In Cadence IC6, the function "hiDisplayFileDialog" is available. However, in Cadence IC5, there are no such function.

May i know what is the equivalent command for this function? or is there any alternative to pop up the file dialog box?

Thanks,

KS.

    You can use ddsFileBrowseCB() to start a file browser linked to a field in a form - this works in both IC5141 and IC61X - in IC61 it uses the newer hiDisplayFileDialog underneath, but in IC5141 it uses a custom file selector UI. There's no "hi" file browser in IC5141.

    Regards,

    Andrew.

    Thanks Andrew, the command "ddsFileBrowseCB()" is worked perfectly for me.

    I have other question regarding the command that not available in IC5 which is pcreCompile and pcreReplace. These two command only available in IC6. May I know is there any alternative to these function as well.

    Thanks,

    KS.

    Hi KS,

    The only alternatives are the rexCompile and rexReplace functions. These support a rather more limited regular expression syntax.
