[SOLVED] Run sequentially cir and net files with tcl/tk

Run sequentially cir and net files with tcl/tk

I would like to give me your advice about using cadence orcad so I can run sequentially cir or net(netlist) files with pspice.exe in cmd of my pc.

I use tcl/tk language.I have tried a few things without any results.

I want to make something similar to this one:

set top  {C:\Users\file1.net C:\Users\file2.net}; 
foreach a $top 
{exec D:\\tools\\bin\\pspice.exe -r $a}

Solution

There are two problems in your code. The first problem is that \f is an escape character sequence in lists (for “go down one line”, IIRC; point is you don't want that interpretation). The second problem is that you've got your brace placement wrong in your foreach.

The first problem is best addressed by using / instead of \, and then using file nativename on the value fed to the OS. (You have to do that manually for argument to executables in expr; Tcl can't fix that for you entirely automatically.) The second problem is just a syntax error.

Try this:

set top {C:/Users/file1.net C:/Users/file2.net}
set pspice D:/tools/bin/pspice.exe
foreach a $top {
    # Tcl knows how to convert executable names for you; not the other args though
    exec $pspice -r [file nativename $a]
}
