Insert variable in CIW.

Hi Denis,

To read from standard in you do
(gets result piport)
...with whatever you type going to result. So that'd be the equivalent of cin>> in C++. However I don't understand what that's got to do with assigning a value to a variable, I mean you just type the variable and it's value into the CIW and that's it.

I mean that in C++, if I want to assign a value of variable, i write:

cout<<"Value of this variable:";

cin>>var;

And until I insert this value, terminal will wait this. Does SKILL have such analog? Or I can insert value just Variable = "value"?

Denis

Can you please explain why you want to do this. Why not just type
variable=value
You need to explain the use case. Why buffer a value in a stream and then in a second step read from that stream?

Below, I attached part of my script, with it I set a new values of CellType and SiteDefinition. I did it, but for inserting new values, need uncomment few strings and enter new values instead value in quotes, as *VAR", or *SITE_NAME* and so on. And my colleague want insert new values from CIW. And I tried make it with standard type in CIW, but for her it looks like not comfortable. So I tried do it with equivalent in C++.

My realization:

;IF YOU WANT TO CHANGE SITE DEFINITION, UNCOMMENT 2 NEXT STRING AND TO SET VARS:(*SITE_NAME*),(*SITE_ORIGIN*),(*SITE_ROTATE*) TO REQUIRED VALUES
;SiteDefinition = '(("*SITE_NAME*" (*SITE_ORIGIN*) "*SITE_ROTATE*"))
SITE = window~>topCellView->sitePattern=SiteDefinition

;FOR SETTING NEW VALUE FOR -CLASS-, UNCOMMENT NEXT STRING AND WRITE NEW NAME INSTEAD *VAR*
;window~>topCellView->cellType = "*VAR*"

Denis,

Both << as well as >> are overloaded operators in C++ which is a concept that is neither supported in SKILL nor in SKILL++ (at least as far as I know...).
So the gets() solution I gave you earlier is getting closest to what you want. However this is a rather unusual way in virtuoso so I strongly recommend to read the variable value through a form.

Thx you, Max!

I'm glad for your help!

Kind regards,
