Renaming instances with a pattern in its name to a new pattern

Anuj G

Hi,

I am looking for a SKILL code to rename cells having a pattern in the instances in it to a new pattern.

Example:

All the instances in a having a pattern (say ABC) to be updated to a new cell name with the pattern (say XYZ)

Topcell (any or from a list)

cell1_ABC_corner --> cell1_XYZ_corner

cell2_ABC_edge --> cell2_XYZ_edge

...

...

Note: The referenced cells are from a different library.

Thanks & Regards,

Anuj

    Hi Anuj,

    Please look at the following skill snippet for ideas:

                        wr->OldName = instancepointer->name
                        wr->NewName = pcreReplace( wr->pcre wr->OldName replaceValue 1)
                        if( wr->OldName != wr->NewName
                        then
                          instancepointer->name = wr->NewName
                          wr->Text = strcat( "set inst name: " wr->NewName)
                          wr->Replaced = wr->Replaced + 1
                        )

    You need to add a foreach loop to work on each of your instances.
    The pcre expression needs to be defined of course.
    In my case I use a wr->xx variables so I have only one local variable to define:
      let( ( wr)
     
        wr = ncons( nil)
    ...   

    Regards, William
