Mapped to external links for text files opened with view() skill function

Hi,

When a simulation log file is opened from ADE-L it is opened in a viewfile window and highlights with links (which red tooltips say at the end  "Mapped to external") a couple of lines like warnings, errors, paths, simulator options and even probe signals.

However if I open the same file by using the view() function, the text is displayed as plain text without any highlight link, even I tried to open the file by using hiOpenWindow() with ?type as hypertext or html but no link is shown either.

Could you please tell me (if exists) a way to open simulator log files with a function like view() or hiOpenWindow() in order to show the the highlight links likewise ADE-L does?

btw. I found the following ticket however the log file does not have any hypertext and even so ADE-L opens it with highlighted links (Does maybe ADE-L auto create a hypertext file based on the plain text of the log file behind scene?)

Thanks and regards,

Ivick.

    This is a bit beyond just an HTML file because some of the hyperlinks cross-probe to the schematic. You can create an HTML file and use the HTML view file window (see hiCreateWIndow for documentation). In this case it's a special widget specifically for Spectre, and it's launched using a (private) Spectre function tied to the ADE (SEV) session rather than being passed the log file (it needs to know the corresponding schematics to get the cross-probing done, for example).

    Andrew.
