how to grep and print realpath of netlist and top cell from file

Hello Andrew,

I am facing one issue as i have created one string field box with browse option it will pickup the setup file....Also there are two more string boxes made ..i.e netlist string field and cell string filed.

setup file consists of --

Source "netlist.tcl"
cell "chklist"

Now i want that when user selects any setup file from browse option automatically in netlist string field it get filled as it takes the realpath of netlist.tcl(source) from setup file ...same in cell string boxes gets filled as it takes the cell
i.e chklist from setup file.

how can i achieve that in callback of netlist and cell..
any example or guidance will be appreciated.
ouput will be something like this-

Asking the same question in three different posts will not get you an answer any quicker (I combined your multiple posts into one to avoid noise on the forum), especially when you give little detail and seem to just want others to write your code for you (from a rather loosely described specification, also).

Presumably you'd have a callback on the Setup File field to read and parse the file, and then update the other fields based on that? Given that your various posts have shown different formats for the file, I'm not going to write the details of precisely how you'd read the file, but it's going to be something like:

procedure(SRVreadSetupFile(form)
  let((prt split removeQuotes commandArg)
    removeQuotes=pcreCompile("['\"]")
    unless(blankstrp(form->setupFile->value)
      prt=infile(form->setupFile->value)
      when(prt
        while(gets(line prt)
          split=parseString(line)
          when(stringp(cadr(split))
            commandArgs=pcreReplace(removeQuotes cadr(split) "" 0)
            case(car(split)
              (("Source" "source")
                form->netlistPath->value=simplifyFilename(commandArgs)
              )
              ("cell"
                form->cell->value=commandArgs
              )
            )
          )
        )
        close(prt)
      )
    )
  )
)

; dummy form to test
hiCreateLayoutForm(
  'forumForm
  "Forum example"
  hiCreateFormLayout(
    'vbox
    ?items list(
      hiCreateStringField(
        ?name 'setupFile
        ?prompt "Setup File"
        ?callback "SRVreadSetupFile(hiGetCurrentForm())"
      )
      hiCreateStringField(
        ?name 'netlistPath
        ?prompt "Netlist Path"
      )
      hiCreateStringField(
        ?name 'cell
        ?prompt "Cell"
      )
    )
  )
)

hiDisplayForm(forumForm)

Note that you'd be more likely to get a prompt response if you gave some code to show what you'd tried (although I wouldn't have answered sooner, since I was on vacation last week).

In the example above, put your setup file in the Setup File field and move your cursor outside of the form (or click on another field) to trigger the callback (I didn't bother adding browse buttons etc as I only created the form to illustrate the callback, not to replicate the code you didn't provide.

Thanks a lot Andrew,

i got your point.

cheers!
