foreach_in_collection (::quartus::misc)

Belongs to ::quartus::misc 1.0

Accesses each element of a collection.

Some Tcl commands return a collection. The following table shows
examples of commands that return a collection:

Tcl package                 Tcl commands (returning a collection)
--------------------------  ----------------------------------------
::quartus::project          get_all_quartus_defaults
                            get_all_global_assignments
                            get_all_instance_assignments
                            get_all_parameters
                            get_names
                            assignment_group (only for the "-get_members"
                                              and "-get_exceptions" options)

::quartus::chip_editor      get_nodes
                            get_iports
                            get_oports

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.  

## Get a collection of global assignments

## the information for each global assignment

	set sect_id [lindex $global 0]
	set name [lindex $global 1]

	## Now, display the content of the global assignment
	puts "Section ID ($sect_id)"

}

## Get a collection of instance assignments
set collection_of_instance_assignments [get_all_instance_assignments -name *]
