Skill program to replace terminal name in layout pin

I'm writing the Skill replace terminal name from VSSPST to VSSH in layout pin.

Now I can select the pin but cannot replace. My Virtuoso version is 5.10.41.

Any help will be much appreciated.

    If you use the graphical search and replace form in the layout editor to search for pins, you'll see that there are no choices to replace anything having found the pins. So this is not supported in IC5141. I see that in newer versions, it is supported (in IC618 for example). The perils of using software released 16 years ago...

    Hi Andrew, I have tried in Virtuoso6.1.5. The result is same. I think the replace script format going wrong.

    Any comments or alternate writing at leReplace......

    Well, you're still using a release where the final hotfix came out 7 years ago, and the initial release was almost 9 years ago. Why are you using something so old?

    I did some checking (as I thought you'd keep asking otherwise), and this was implemented in IC6.1.7. Even that is getting close to 5 years old...

    Regards,

    Andrew.
