    Remove repeat item from a list Reply

    I have tried some way to remove some repeat item from a list.
    Followed is the simple one

    foreach(item list
    list=cons(item remove(item list))
    )

    Do anyone have a more available command or fuction?

    This is what I use...

    procedure(_removeDuplicates(masterList)
    let((finalList)
    foreach(item masterList
    unless(member(item car(finalList))
    finalList=tconc(finalList item)
    )
    )
    finalList
    )
    )

    If your are going through a list of dbids, then you can use memq instead of member to speed this up.

    I use "makeTable" because it doesn't accept duplicates.


    below is code from a program I wrote called highlight_padstacks.il that is in the downloadable user skill zip file from cadence. I make a list by selecting all pins and via, and then load the names into a table.

    padstacklist=makeTable("atable1" 0) 

    axlSetFindFilter(?enabled list("noall" "pins" "vias")
             ?onButtons list("noall" "pins" "vias"))
    axlAddSelectAll()
    pin_list = axlGetSelSet()

    foreach(pin_db pin_list
             
      padstack_db = pin_db->definition     ;Extract PadstackID from pinID
      pad_name=padstack_db->name      ;Extract Padstack Name from PadstackID
      padstacklist[pad_name]=pad_name  ;Load into table as Name:Value
                                                                   
    );end foreach

    Now I use below code to this solution:

    procedure( RemoveDuplicateItem(A)
    B=nil
    while(A!=nil B=cons(nth(0 A) B) A=remove(nth(0 A) A))
    B
    );procedure

    You could try using the unique function

    For example, this will weed out all duplicate via names from a list:

    via_name_list = unique(sort( via_name_list 'alphalessp))


    A more-generic-but-trickier method involves using a foreach loop and the member funtion.
    Someting like:


    ulist = nil
    foreach( obj obj_list
        unless( member( obj ulist)
            ulist = cons( obj ulist)
        );end-unless
    );end-foreach

    PS - anyone know of a position for a(nother) Cadence guru?
