Searching and Extracting LPPs from the techfile with a condition

blankman

Hi,

I would like to extract a list of LPPs from my techfile that have the word "fill" in any part of of the purpose description, ie for example (RX cfill) (RX gapFill) (RX fillOPC). I would like all of these LPPS to be listed, and irrespective of case. Could anyone help me with how to obtain this list of LPPs?

Thanks,

Brian.

    Hi Brian,

    The following returns the LP objects that match from the tech file (assuming a current cellview for obtaining the technology file):

    setof(lp techGetTechFile(geGetEditCellView())~>lps rexMatchp("[fF][iI][lL][lL]" lp~>purpose))

    The LP object is a particular representation of a layer-purpose pair - using the object you can access the layer name: LPobj~>layer~>name, and was you can see above you can access the purpose directly.

    Hope this helps!

    Lawrence.

    Hi Brian,

    LPobjectsFinal=foreach(mapcar lpp LPobjects list(lpp~>layerName lpp~>purpose))

    will do it.

    Minor correction:
    LPobjectsFinal=foreach(mapcar lpp LPobjects list(lpp~>name lpp~>purpose))

    since these are 'LP' objects (~>layerName will return 'nil')

    Best regards,

    Lawrence.

    Thanks Lawrence. The perils of writing a reply on the phone without testing it or checking!
