Hi, Dave,

Thanks so much for your excellent suggestion and explanation.

A lot of the syntax in your example is new to me, so I am
having a little trouble following everything.  Actually, it
is the "my @sorted_recs =" routine that I'm struggling with.
There is a missing "{" somewhere that I can't figure out
where to insert...?

All of you assumptions about the data source format are 
correct.  Here is an exact snippet from the file I need to parse..


Clock: pcm_pclk_i
Pin:   pad_ring_i\/pcm_pclk_pad/Y
Net:   pcm_pclk_i

Operating Condition     = worst
The clock global skew   = 0.113
The longest path delay  = 2.663
The shortest path delay = 2.550

The longest path delay end pin:  co_8port_i/I0/CLKB
The shortest path delay end pin: co_8port_i/pcm_tsc_n_pclk_reg/CK

Clock: ltr_clk
Pin:   clkgate_i/peaz_gate8/S_5/Y
Net:   ltr_clk

Operating Condition     = worst
The clock global skew   = 0.171
The longest path delay  = 3.723
The shortest path delay = 3.552

The longest path delay end pin:  co_8port_i/LOCKUP/GN
The shortest path delay end pin: co_8port_i/ntr_frame_sample_c2_reg6/CK


Followed by several hundred more clocks.  So the semicolon isn't
the only qualifier: the "=" is necessary as well.  (I goofed
in my original post...sorry about that.)

That's everything.  Where does that missing "{" go?

Thanks,
-Chris
