in reply to Re: File modification on the fly (Verilog) in thread File modification on the fly
Thank you so much for your help, I works perfectly. If I understand your script correctly, you are setting the line delimiter to a ";" and replacing all multiple spaces to single spaces?
I have parsed the netlist using verilog-perl, but the time requirement seems to increase exponentially with number of cells. For older netlists with ~5k cells, the script takes about 12 hours. With my new netlist of about 450000 cells, I'm estimating a runtime of about 200 days which is unacceptable so I'm looking at alternative approaches.

You're welcome.

Yes.
and replacing all multiple spaces to single spaces?
\s refers to all types of whitespace; refer to perlre. The key here is that \s includes the newline character (\n). So, \s+ replaces multiple adjacent spaces, tabs and newlines. s///g changes all whitespace on a line.
For older netlists with ~5k cells, the script takes about 12 hours.
That is a surprisingly long time. Can you post your code for that?

Depending on how your program works you can maybe gain some speed from using auto flush $| = 1;.
OUTPUT_AUTOFLUSH
