JasperGold: Can you implement commands conditionally in tcl script?

xccxc

Hi,

I am trying to dynamically execute a Jasper tcl script but the commands don't seem to execute despite the log clearly parsing them and seemingly finding them syntactically correct.

get_inst_top

variable A = get_inst_top

if {A=="my_module"} {

connect -bind ...etc

}

This runs and the commands appear green in the GUI log but the code "connect -bind" doesn't produce an instance for that checker file like it does outside the if statement.

  • Tcl conditionals should work fine in a Jasper console.   But in the code quoted above, it looks like you may be effectively assigning the *string* "get_inst_top" to A, rather than calling a function [get_inst_top], so we expect the conditional to fail.   (Or is this just an error in transcribing it to this forum?)

    In any case, this is usually not the best channel to use for help--  it's best to contact an AE for a hands-on debug session.

    Thanks that works

    set <variable_name> [get_inst_top]
