Use wildcard entry for RefDes search

SambaKantipudi

Hello,
Can someone please support on this!

procedure(highlightSyms()
prog((symDbids, searchPattern, searchRefDes)
symDbids = axlDBGetDesign()->symbols
if(symDbids then
searchPattern = axlUIPrompt("Enter RefDes" "")
unless(searchPattern
axlMsgPut("Cancelled")
return()
); end unless

if(searchPattern then
if((searchPattern == "*") then
searchRefDes = ".*"
else
searchRefDes = strcat(upperCase(searchPattern) "[0-9]+")
); end if

symCount = 0
foreach(symDbid symDbids
if(symDbid->refdes && rexMatchp(searchRefDes symDbid->refdes) then
symCount = symCount + 1
axlCustomColorObject(symDbid 82)
); end if
); end foreach
axlMsgPut("%d symbols highlighted", symCount)
); end if
else
axlMsgPut("Symbols not found!")
); end if
); end prog
); end procedure

My requirement:
--> If I enter D5, highlight only D5
--> If I enter D5*, highlight = D5, D55, D56, D58 etc.
--> If I enter D*, highlight = D1, D2, D3, D55, D100 etc.

Basically, how does a wildcard search perform, is what I need!

Thanks in advance

    Hi Samba, 

    Have you looked at the axlSingleSelectName() function in the Allegro skill documentation? 

    Using that, it allows wildcards, so you would not have to loop through all components in the design. 

    See the code snipped below

    prompt = axlUIPrompt("Search criteria")

    axlClearSelSet()
    axlSetFindFilter(
      ?enabled list( "noall" "symbols")
      ?onButtons list( "all"))

    axlSingleSelectName("SYMBOL" prompt t)
    items = axlGetSelSet()
    axlMsgPut("Items selected")
    foreach(item items
      axlMsgPut("%s" item->refdes)
    )

    Best regards
