How to export searched signal list using simvision design search to a text file?

Hi,

I am using Simulation Analysis Environment SimVision(64) 15.20-s025. I have a list of signals searched and displayed using the design search window and I cant seem to find a way to export them to a text file. Is there a way to do this?

Thanks.

    Have you tried the File->Export option in the Design Search window? There is an option to export to CSV.

    For details on exporting data in live mode, refer to the following section of the documentation:

    Yes. But that exports the selected signals and records the values over time. That option also didn't give me the correct hierarchical view.

    What I am trying to do is search for a list of signals/scopes with a specific string through the design search window. Then copy/export all the names to a text file. I don't need to record values of the signals for a specific time duration nor create a new database with a specific set of signals/scopes. Just the signals/scope names are enough.

    I think the Tcl "find" command would be a better option. You can open a file and dump the results of the "find" command to that file. For example:

    xcelium> set fp [open "foo.txt" a+]
    xcelium> puts $fp [find <your_signal_to_search_for> -scope [scope -tops] -absolute]
    xcelium> close $fp

    The "find" command has other options to narrow down your search too, if that is needed.
