Syntax
get_projects [‑regexp] [‑nocase] [‑filter <arg>] [‑quiet] [‑verbose]
[<patterns>]
Returns
list of project objects
Usage
Name | Description |
---|---|
[-regexp]
|
Patterns are full regular expressions |
[-nocase]
|
Perform case-insensitive matching (valid only when -regexp specified) |
[-filter]
|
Filter list with expression |
[-quiet]
|
Ignore command errors |
[-verbose]
|
Suspend message limits during command execution |
[<patterns>]
|
Match project names against patterns Default: * |
Description
Gets a list of open projects that match the specified search pattern. The default gets a list of all open projects.
get_*
commands return a container list of a single type of objects (e.g. cells, nets, pins, or ports). You can add new objects to the list (using lappend
for instance), but you can only add the same type of object that is currently in the list. Adding a different type of object, or string, to the list is not permitted and will result in a Tcl error.
Arguments
-regexp
- (Optional) Specifies that the search <patterns> are written as regular expressions. Both search <patterns> and -filter
expressions must be written as regular expressions when this argument is used. Xilinx regular expression Tcl commands are always anchored to the start of the search string. You can add ".*" to the beginning or end of a search string to widen the search to include a substring. See http://perldoc.perl.org/perlre.html for help with regular expression syntax.
regexp
is not anchored, and works as a standard Tcl command. For more information refer to http://www.tcl.tk/man/tcl8.5/TclCmd/regexp.htm.
-nocase
- (Optional) Perform case-insensitive matching when a pattern has been specified. This argument applies to the use of -regexp
only.
-filter
<args> - (Optional) Filter the results list with the specified expression. The -filter
argument filters the list of objects returned by get_projects
based on property values on the projects. You can find the properties on an object with the report_property
or list_property
commands. In the case of the "projects" object, "NAME", "DIRECTORY" and "TARGET_LANGUAGE" are some of the properties that can be used to filter results.
get_pins * -filter {DIRECTION == IN && NAME !~ "*RESET*"}
bool
) type properties can be directly evaluated in filter expressions as true or not true: -filter {IS_PRIMITIVE && !IS_LOC_FIXED}
-quiet
- (Optional) Execute the command quietly, returning no messages from the command. The command also returns TCL_OK regardless of any errors encountered during execution.
-verbose
- (Optional) Temporarily override any message limits and return all messages from this command.
set_msg_config
command.<patterns> - (Optional) Match projects against the specified patterns. The default pattern is the wildcard '*' which gets a list of all parts. More than one pattern can be specified to find multiple projects based on different search criteria.
Examples
get_projects
set project_found [llength [get_projects ISC*] ]
if {$project_found > 0} {puts "Project Found."} \
else {puts "No Projects Found."}
