Batch rename cells in a lib by replacing words

FormerMember
FormerMember over 1 year ago

Hi Cadence Forum,

I am looking for a SKILL script that will rename the cells in a whole library but just replace a specific word.
For example, my library contain cell in this format "prefix1_1p1_cell".
I would like to change the cell names into another format "prefix2_1p1_cell:
It should only change the cell that matches the word "prefix1".

    See SKILL: How to rename all cells starting with a given prefix or ending with a given suffix and update references of all cellviews in a library. and How can I rename all cells in a library with a specified prefix or suffix?. I think the first is what you want, but between them you should be able to see how to do this and potentially adapt to your requirements if they're not quite what you want.

    Regards,

    Andrew
