    Hi masa!

    you can type cmd like this.

    skill fprintf(outfile("./net_list.txt" "w") "%s\n" buildString(axlDBGetDesign()->nets~>name "\n") t) 

    and then see the name "net_list.txt" file.

    below is a skill routine to output a netlist csv file...

    procedure((csv_net_export @optional FileName)
       prog((fptr OutputName NetCnt)
            if( FileName then
                (OutputName = strcat(simplifyFilename(".") "/" FileName))
                (OutputName = FileName)
            else
                (OutputName = strcat(simplifyFilename(".") "/netlist.csv"))
            )
            if(isFile(OutputName) then
               unless(deleteFile(OutputName)
                   (axlMsgPut "ERROR: could not remove existing file %s" OutputName)
                   return()
               )
            )
            if((fptr = outfile(OutputName)) then
                (NetCnt = 0)
                foreach(Net (axlDBGetDesign()->nets)
                    (NetCnt++)
                    foreach(Branch (Net->branches)
                        foreach(Child (Branch->children)
                            if(((Child->objType) == "pin") then
                                fprintf(fptr "%s,%s,3,4,5,6,7,%s\n" Child->component->name Child->number Net->name)
                            )
                        )
                    )
                )
                close(fptr)
                (axlMsgPut "%d nets written to %s" NetCnt OutputName)
            else
                (axlMsgPut "ERROR: could not open output file %s" OutputName)
            )
       )
    )
