Backslash character in the string , used for uvm_hdl_force

UVM

Hi all

I using uvm_hdl_force dpi.

when i am providing the hdl path ( containing instance name with backslash) as string , i am hitting to hdl path not found issue.

snippet code :
string path = sformatf(“a.b.\c. \d”);
uvm_hdl_force(path,1);

for this code, the actual path its searching for is a.b.c.d instead of a.b.\c. \d

do we require any special treatment incase of backslash?

You need to make sure any escaped name is terminated with a space. So you need to write this as

string path = sformatf("a.b.\c .\d ");

In reply to dave_59:

considering one more level of hierarchy

string path = $sformatf(“a.b.\c .\d .f”);

this is correct ? Dave
