 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 Luan,

    exit doesn't behave as you are expecting. You can't use it to "exit" your code like this.

    Your code is very confusing. Is this what you are trying to do?

     

    axlCmdRegister( "Reportvia" 'Reportvia)

    defun( Reportvia ()

    if(isFile("netlist.txt") then

    netlist = nil

    inPort = infile( "netlist.txt" )

    when( inPort

    while( gets( nextline inPort )

    nextline = car(parseString(nextline, "\n"))

    netlist = cons(concat(nextline), netlist)

    );end while

    close( inPort )

    netlist = reverse(netlist)

    foreach(netname, netlist

    netname ->count = 10

    );end foreach

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

    foreach(netname, netlist

    fprintf(writeOutFile, "%s %d\n", get_pname(netname), netname ->count)

    );end foreach

    close(writeOutFile)

     

    );end when

    else

    axlUIConfirm( "File netlist.txt can't be found!")

    );end if

    );end defun
