How to load and execute a "file.il"

PO202512012325

Hi Everyone,

I am trying to execute a simple LIST request, see below.  When I load the file into the CIW a cell.txt is created but it is empty, it does not run on the opened cell.

Does anyone have some guidance?

Thanks very much,

Patrick

let((file)
     file=outfile("cell.txt")
     foreach(obj geGetSelSet()
          when(obj~>objType=="inst"
             fprintf(file "%s\n" obj~>name)
           )
      )  
     close(file)
)

    Provided that you have some instances selected, this should work. One thing to check - what is the order of the paths in the return value of getSkillPath() ? If this doesn't have "." at the beginning, then the outfile("cell.txt") may be creating a file somewhere other than the working directory, because the files are resolved using the SKILL path. You could use outfile("./cell.txt") to force it to the working directory instead - maybe that's it?
