questa -f <filename>.tcl -> from a batch file

[ivlsi]

Hi All,

How could I invoke the QuestaSim and run a *.tcl file from a batch file?

I'd like to do something like this (part of the batch file):
questa -f <filename>.tcl

where <filename>.tcl would contain projects definitions, etc.

Thank you!

You need to know the full file path of the program. You'll likely find it by right clik at the program icon on your desktop and select Properties.

So your bat fil will contain a line like this:

c:\program files\. . . \questa.exe -f c:\filename.tcl

OK, I've put the following in the filename.tcl:

puts "123"

and have ran the following from the command line:

c:\program files\. . . \questa.exe -f c:\filename.tcl

As the result, after the QuestaSim has open, the following was ran:

vsim -gui puts 123

Why? I don't want that the "vsim -gui" command will be ran, I want QuestaSim will just open and execute commands in the filename.tcl

Hi. I just provided a generic way to open a file in any program with that file name.

How the different commands works is unknown for me because I've never used that program.

What is your complete command (the whole line in your bat file)?
