Usage
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
[-regexp]
|
Patterns are full regular expressions |
[-filter]
|
Filter list with expression |
[-of_objects]
|
Get the parts of the objects specified: project, design, IP definitions or run. |
[-quiet]
|
Ignore command errors |
[-verbose]
|
Suspend message limits during command execution |
[<patterns>]

Description
Gets a list of parts that match a specified search pattern. The default command gets a list of all parts.
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.
-filter <args> - (Optional) Filter the results list with the specified expression. The -filter argument filters the list of objects returned by get_parts based on property values on the parts. You can find the properties on an object with the report_property or list_property commands. Any property/value pair can be used as a filter. In the case of the part object, "DEVICE", "FAMILY" and "SPEED" 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}
-of_objects <args> - (Optional) Return the parts of the specified project, design, or run objects.
-of_objects option requires objects to be specified using the get_* commands, such as get_cells or get_pins, rather than specifying objects by name. In addition, -of_objects cannot be used with a search <pattern>.
-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 parts against the specified patterns. The default pattern is the wildcard '*' which gets a list of all parts. More than one search pattern can be specified to find parts based on different search criteria.
Examples
The following example gets a list of 7vx485t parts, speed grade -1:
get_parts -filter {DEVICE =~ xc7vx485t* && speed == -1}The following example gets the number of 7 series and 6 series Virtex parts:
llength [get_parts -regexp {xc7v.* xc6V.*} -nocase]
