SKILL command to copy a library, including categories

Aldo2

Hello,

I used ccpCopy command to copy a library using SKILL. Is it possible to copy categories as well?

Thank you

Best regards,

  • Hi Aldo,

    Yes, it seems to work. For example:

    miscCat=gdmCreateSpec("analogLib" "" "" "Misc.Cat" "CDBA")
    dl=gdmCreateSpec("RFworkshop" "" "" "" "CDBA")
    src=gdmCreateSpecList()
    dst=gdmCreateSpecList()
    gdmAddSpecToSpecList(miscCat src)
    gdmAddSpecToSpecList(dl dst)
    ccpCopy(src dst t)

    Note that it won't show up unless you either copy the top level category (e.g. analog.TopCat in the example above) - the updater will automatically rename that to RFworkshop.TopCat - or you recreate the top level category using the ddCat API.

    Thank you Andrew.

    And for selecting them, I have to use a statement like:

    foreach(cellId ddGetObj(libNameNew)~>files...

    picking out *.Cat and *.TopCat files only, or there is an alternative way?

    Thank you

    BR,

    Hi Aldo,

    You could use the category APIs, so starting with ddCatGetLibCats(ddGetObj("analogLib")) to get the names of the library level categories, but then you'd have to find any sub-categories too. So pragmatically it might just be easier to pattern match for anything ending in .Cat or .TopCat (even though that feels wrong to me, it's probably simplest).
