A file produced by "-g bom" will contain as many lines as there are components. Columns are seperated by tab characters. Lines are not sorted. With "-g bom2" the refdeses of all components with the same value will be collected into a single line. columns are seperated by colons (:). Different items in the same column are seperated by a komma (,). See http://geda.seul.org/wiki/geda:faq-attribs?s=bom fo advice on how to use bom2 > Partslist 1,2,3 - More Bill of Materials (-g partslist[1-3]) The partslist backends don't read the attrib file. So they will always assemble the same tab separated columns. partslist1: will give a line for each and everey component. Lines are sorted alphabetically by refdes. partslist2: like partslist1, but the lines are sorted by the value of the device attribute. partslist3: assembles all parts with the same value in a single line, very much like bom2. Lines are sorted by the value of the device attribute. The fourth column reports the number of parts in a line. Columns are seperated by the tab character, items by space. ---<(kaimartin)>--- -- Kai-Martin Knaak http://lilalaser.de/blog _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
