axlUnsetVariableFile -> delete variable in ENV file

Vojtech

Hello,

I want to delete library paths (psmpath) in ENV file. String of library paths are longer than 511 characters. If  skill axlUnsetVariableFile("psmpath") is used, rest of library paths stay in ENV file -> Size of ENV file can be increased every time if this command is used (library paths are defined over 511 characters).

Question is how can I delete library pahts (psmpath) in ENV file by skill where is string longer than 511 characters.


Many Thanks,

Ondracek Vojtěch

  • Hi Ondracek, I don't understand why you want to delete the variable, maybe if you explain the reasons we can provide a better solution. psmpath is an esential variable needed for Allegro/OrCAD to locate the footprints. You can eitehr clean it if it contrains too many locations or set it to "", as suggested below.

    If your purpose is to supress it when it exceeds a certain amount of charactes, you can read it, check the lenght and then run your code.

    Instead of deleting it, you can set it to "" by using:


    axlSetVariable("psmpath" "")
