foreach_in_collection
Usage
foreach_in_collection <variable_name> <collection> <body>
Options
<variable_name>: Variable name
<collection>: Collection
<body>: Body
Description
Accesses each element of a collection.
Some Tcl commands return a collection. The following table shows examples of commands that return a
collection:
The command is used in the following format:
foreach_in_collection <variable name> <collection> {
# This is the body of "foreach_in_collection"
...
}
Unlike a Tcl list, a collection is a container specific to the Quartus II software, whose elements can be
accessed by using the "foreach_in_collection" command.
Example
## Get a collection of global assignments
set collection_of_global_assignments [get_all_global_assignments -name *]
## Display the collection string representation
puts $collection_of_global_assignments
## Iterate through the collection and display
## the information for each global assignment
foreach_in_collection global $collection_of_global_assignments {
set sect_id [lindex $global 0]
set name [lindex $global 1]
set value [lindex $global 2]
## Now, display the content of the global assignment
