 Hi everyone!
I have a skill file ( download from internet), I'm researching it but there are something I don't understand, so I hope evertone can help me. And here is it:
*****************************************************************
axlCmdRegister( "myCompanyViaReport" `myCompanyViaReport)
(defun myCompanyViaReport ()
; Find all of the vias in the design
allViasInDesign=list()
originalVisible=axlVisibleGet()
designName = axlCurrentDesign()
axlVisibleDesign(t)
axlShell("redisplay")
axlSetFindFilter(?enabled '(noall vias) ?onButtons '(noall vias))
allViasInDesign=axlGetSelSet(axlAddSelectAll())
axlClearSelSet()
; Open a file to work on
if(length(allViasInDesign)==0
then
axlUIConfirm("No vias in this design. Please try another design.")
else
writeOutFile = outfile("./TBL-DesignViaReport.csv" "w")
fprintf(writeOutFile strcat("Design Via Report for " designName "\n\n"))
fprintf(writeOutFile "Via Location,Via Net Name,Padstack Name,Via Start
Layer,Via End Layer\n")
; Output data for each via to the file
foreach(via allViasInDesign
viaLocation = sprintf(nil "%L:%L" car(via->xy) cadr(via->xy))
fprintf(writeOutFile strcat(viaLocation ","))
fprintf(writeOutFile strcat(via->net->name ","))
fprintf(writeOutFile strcat(via->name ","))
fprintf(writeOutFile strcat(car(via->startEnd) ","))
fprintf(writeOutFile strcat(cadr(via->startEnd) "\n"))
);end foreach via allViasInDesign
; Close the file and wrap up
fprintf(writeOutFile "END OF FILE")
close(writeOutFile)
axlVisibleSet(originalVisible)
axlShell("redisplay")
axlUIConfirm( "Report has been generated in your working directory." )
; This next line launches Excel and displays the report
axlHttp("TBL-DesignViaReport.csv")
);end if length(allViasInDesign)==0
);end defun myCompanyViaReport
********************************************************************
??????????????????
- How can I know paramerter of Vias such as ViaLocation, via net name, via name, via start layer, end layer in order to make this:
================================================================
viaLocation = sprintf(nil "%L:%L" car(via->xy) cadr(via->xy))
fprintf(writeOutFile strcat(viaLocation ","))
fprintf(writeOutFile strcat(via->net->name ","))
fprintf(writeOutFile strcat(via->name ","))
fprintf(writeOutFile strcat(car(via->startEnd) ","))
fprintf(writeOutFile strcat(cadr(via->startEnd) "\n")
================================================================

I'm using Allegro 16.3 and it seem can't run with BB via.
Tks!

     Hi ! thank for your code. It works OK, I have changed writting out method in order to apply for many layers.

      Now. Can you show me other problem ?

    I'm testing a code, but there something I don't know. Here the code.

      axlCmdRegister( "Reportvia" `Reportvia)
    (defun Reportvia ()

    if(isFile("netlist.txt") then
    netlist = list()
    netlist = nil
    inPort = infile( "netlist.txt" )
    when( inPort
    while( gets( nextline inPort )
    netlist = cons(concat(nextline),netlist)
    );end while
    close( inPort )
    netlist=reverse(netlist)
    );end when
    else
    axlUIConfirm( "File netlist.txt can't be found!")
    exit()
    );end if

          foreach(netname, netlist
            netlist->netname = 10    ; property of each net name =10
          );end foreach

        writeOutFile = outfile( "./Via_report.txt" )

          foreach(netname, netlist
           fprintf(writeOutFile, "%s %d\n", get_pname(concat(netname)), netlist->netname)
           );end foreach
          close(writeOutFile)

    );end defun

    1/ Can you show me  if the netlist.txt file isn't exist ==> ;E- *Error* eval: unbound variable - netlist. How can I resolve it?

    2/ In order to print netname out, is there any others way to get name of net.

    3/ the result of my code : (via_report.txt), - and the result don't like as I wish.

    D1_HC1_4
     10
    netname 10 
    10 10
    D1_HC2
     10
    D1_HC3
     10
    D1_HC4
     10
    D1_HC5 10
     

     ===> please show me where is wrong?how can I fix it?

    (my netlist is: 

    D1_HC1_4
    D1_HC2
    D1_HC3
    D1_HC4
    D1_HC5

    )

    tks.

    Luan.
