How to read current flow into a schematic symbol terminal using SKILL?

Hello SKILL experts,

I am fairly new to SKILL and have a basic doubt. I have searched for a solution in the Community Technical Forums for hours but was unable to get any help. The problem is as follows,

I want to conduct a DC operating point analysis for my schematic (which I did using an OCEAN script and selected dcOp results) then I want to read the current input into a symbol's (generated from a schematic) terminal. I want to automate the above task so I use the i("/symbolname/terminal") to access the current. The thing is that the valid outputs (returned by the outputs procedure) contains hierarchical addressing schemes, for example: My symbol is called "I27" and has a terminal named "R" so I try to get the current using i("/I27/R") which does not work, according to outputs(), what I should be using is i("I27/R0/PLUS"). Is there a way to convert my terminal name to a hierarchical name? or is there some other workaround to do the above task?

Thank you
