Using Shell/AWK scripts "hsp", "hstrip", and "hpurge": * "hsp [file_name]" Same as doing "hspice [file_name].sp > [file_name].lis" * "hstrip [file_name].lis [out_name]" Will takeout (strip) unnecessary portion of the HSPICE output file (*.lis) and will create three new files "[out_name].dcX", "[out_name].acX" & "[out_name].trX" according to the ".PRINT" statements in HSPICE input file (*.sp). (You should also have ".option ingold=1" in *.sp file.) The new files can either be read into MATLAB or plotted using another plotting tool. * "hpurge" Will remove/delete all files generated in the process of running HSPICE, but will preserve the "*.sp" files. (A way to clean up the working directory.)
