Can I execute commands with commands like bind keys?

If you define a function called "xstOutOnTranslate", it's called when you hit the Translate button on the form:

procedure(xstOutOnTranslate()
  let((topcell_st)
    printf("Filling in some fields\n")
    topcell_st=xstGetField("topCell")
;    xstSetField("techLib" "techname")
    xstSetField("logFile" strcat(topcell_st,".log"))
    xstSetField("summaryFile" strcat(topcell_st,".sum"))
    xstSetField("runDir" strcat("/tmp/PIPO_TEST/",topcell_st))
    xstSetField("outputDir" strcat("/tmp/PIPO_TEST/",topcell_st))
  ))

(note I commented out some things and changed some paths for testing). Then you can interactively choose the top cell on the form, but the other fields will be set automatically when you hit Translate.

I don't think I explained enough.

The move I want is When "pipoDisplay(transStreamOutNewForm)" runs, "xstOutOnTranslate()" runs automatically, which defines a new "topcell_st=xstGetField" and wants to execute the remaining commands.

For example, if you run "pipoDisplay(transStreamOutNewForm)" just as "xstOutOnTranslate()" works when you press the binding key, you want "xstOutOnTranslate()" to work without any other buttons or clicks.

Thank you always. Andrew

Well, I'm also not sure you understood what I meant either. If you define a function called xstOutOnTranslate (see the documentation - search for this function), then it is called automatically when you press the Translate/Apply buttons on the File->Export->Stream form. The example above (based on your code) will retrieve whatever the user has set up as the top cell and set the log and summary files and run and output directory to the desired location based on the cell name.

What you seem to be asking for is for something to run whenever the pipoDisplay(transStreamOutNewForm) is called. I'm not sure that makes sense, given that the top cell name has not been completed at that time. There's no built-in trigger or SKILL function to do that, but of course you could customise the ciw.menus to call your function before calling pipoDisplay(transStreamOutNewForm) if that's what you really want. I assumed that wasn't what you wanted since the top cell name had probably not been filled in before the form was launched!

When I operated the skill you provided, it works when I click the translator. But what I want to do is, like, "pipoDisplay (transStreamOutNewForm)", every time I put up a newstreamoutform,

procedure(streamOut()
prog(()
topcell_st = xstGetField("topCell")
xstSetField("techLib" "techname")
xstSetField("logFile" strcat(topcell_st,".log"))
xstSetField("summaryFile" strcat(topcell_st,".sum"))
xstSetField("runDir" strcat("/user/PIPO_TEST/",topcell_st))
xstSetField("outputDir" strcat("/user/PIPO_TEST/",topcell_st))
))

I want the above action to proceed automatically without a separate click or button and fill in the form. If you look at Andrew's answer, you can think of something as streamOut() that I defined.

If you have topcell, streamOut() will work and fill in the forms, if topcell is blank, other forms will also fill in the blanks, and I expect that when another topcell comes, a new topcell will be applied and the forms will also be filled in to the new topcell name.

you are always helpful to study. Very Thank you. Andrew

If you want to pre-fill in the form before the form is displayed, you can call the pipoDisplay after setting the fields:

procedure(streamOut()
 prog((topcell_st)
  topcell_st = xstGetField("topCell")
  xstSetField("techLib" "techname")
  xstSetField("logFile" strcat(topcell_st,".log"))
  xstSetField("summaryFile" strcat(topcell_st,".sum"))
  xstSetField("runDir" strcat("/user/PIPO_TEST/",topcell_st))
  xstSetField("outputDir" strcat("/user/PIPO_TEST/",topcell_st))
  pipoDisplay(transStreamOutNewForm)
))

It sounds as if you're asking for some kind of callback on the top cell field so that when you change it, it will automatically fill in the other fields. That's not possible - there is no callback mechanism on this form. The only mechanism there is that's possible is the one that I proposed. That may not be what you want, but it's all that is possible, sorry.
