How to pass a list as string to a variable in Pcell

prasadtammana

Hi,

I've created a pcell using Pcell menu in layout window. I've instantiated another pcell inside the master pcell and assigning parameters of master pcell to child pcell using "inherited parameters" option. I've an inherited parameter as a string as shown in the image below. I'd like to assign a list of numbers starting from BOT number to TOP number (BOT and TOP are another 2 variables). If BOT is 1 and TOP is 4, I want to assign "1,2,3,4".  

 

I tried following command, but it fails as its not accepting printf inside that. 

printf("\" ") for(i BOT_MET TOP_MET-1 printf("%d ," i) i=i+1 ) printf("%d \"" TOP_MET)

Could someone help me on how to print a list of numbers as string.

Thanks,

Prasad

    Prasad,

    It's not 100% clear what you want, but if you're trying to build an expression that returns a new string something like that, then this would do it:

    let((lst) for(i BOT_MET TOP_MET lst=cons(sprintf(nil "%d" i) lst)) buildString(reverse(lst) ","))

    Thanks for your reply Andrew. The command that you provided works fine in skill language but if I want to include that in that as inherited parameter in pcell GUI, its not accepting the BuildString command. 

    Basically I want to build a string with numbers that Inherited Parameters in Pcell accepts. 

    Thanks,
