Hi

I'v batch file that run modelsim:
Code: 
set a="%~dp0"
set a=%a:\=/%
vsim -gui -do "cd %a%" -do compile.tcl
Pause&Exit
The directory path in modelsim is where the batch file is located ("C:\HDL\Blocks\simulate\open_modelsim.bat")

compile.tcl file is:
Code: 
vlib lib
vmap work lib
vcom -novopt -O0 tb_file.vhd
#vcom -novopt -O0 C:\HDL\file.vhd
#i want to use more generic like this:
vcom -novopt -O0 file.vhd
i'm trying to figure out how do i write tcl script to compile a vhd file that located on parent of the current directory. ("C:\HDL\file.vhd")

Thanks
Gil
 

vcom ../file.vhd

".." is like a folder but it indicates the previous folder
"." indicates the current folder
 
It should be noted that \ in modelsim do files (tcl) are escapes, not directory hierarchy. The directory separator is /.

The original posted tcl do file could have used C:/HDL/file.vhd and it would have worked.
