Bus

[newborn]

I am an undergrad who just started using Cadence and Skill...
How to create bus using Skill? I already know that if you name
R0<7:0> i get a 8-bit bus. The problem i am facing is , I am given an
instance which has a pin which is 8-bit. I have to connect to this
pin, 8-bits all individually controlled by V-sources.I have been
trying to wire them up (regretfully the most painful method) using
Skill.

Is there any other way? Anything would be welcomed
Can anyone put some brief info on how to place and route?

Thanks!

Hrishikesh, can you give a little more info.... is this schematics or
layout? In cadence you can name a bus data<7:0> and then you can get
to any bit in the bus by data<0>, etc so you don't even need a
continuous wire if you are working on the schematic.

Yes, I wanted it on schematic. Yah, it helped.

I had another Skill-specific doubt. I want to search for a part of the
string from a whole lot of strings.
So i want to run a loop like
for(i 0 n
if(k="*find*" then .....)
.....
)
But it returns error. Is there anything in SKILL which would do the
same for me?
Any help would be greatly appreciated

I think i might have found the soln. I am trying to use grep in Skill
and trying to do Pattern Matching. lease reply if i am on the right
path or not. If there is a more elegant soln, pls do post it.

So I suggest you open the manual and look for regular expression functions.

It's all there..

There is a function called rexMatchp() in skill.You refer this in
cdsFinder. You need to provide pattern and the source from where do
you need to search.Hope this will help you.
