Tcl script make all pin virtual

Hi all,

Trying follow the instruction base on the Manually Exclude Certain Pins, Such as Clocks. I get some error

http://www.altera.com/support/examples/tcl/all_virtual_pins.html?gsa_pos=1&wt.oss_r=1&wt.oss=quartus%20ii%20tcl%20example:%20make%20all%20pins%20virtual

However, when i type

source Tcl_script1.tcl

make_all_pins_virtual -exclude { inclk0 }

in the tcl consule, it return back

can't read "argv": no such variable

Can anyone help me with this? I attached the achieve file.

Thanks a lot in advance

    Hi,

    I found a solution for your problem. First of all there where some bugs in the script itself.

    Also important is that you have to run the script in a cmd-window. You could not pass argument to the script in the tcl-window ( at least as far as I know). have a look to my changes. Don't forget to change the file extension.

    Kind regards
