quartus tcl - finding project name

Could anybody tell me in quartus tcl how I can get the name of the project? I've looked in the project package and all I've found is commands to obtain revision names.

I've got a generic timing report script and I want to use the project name as the prefix to the report names.

I just know the answer is staring me in the face. :confused:

    If you are in the tcl shell and your Quartus project is already opened you can obtain the information in the quartus array from the global name space:

    for example:

    # array names quartus

    ip_rootpath copyright load_report_is_needed advanced_use nativelink_tclpath quartus_rootpath processing tclpath ipc_mode nameofexecutable natural_bus_naming eda_tclpath settings internal_use regtest_mode package_table eda_libpath args ipc_sh version binpath project is_report_loaded available_packages

    # puts $quartus(project)

    If you are loading a script from your .qsf file

    for example:

    set_global_assignment -name PRE_FLOW_SCRIPT_FILE "quartus_sh:myscript.tcl"

    then the project file name is automatically passed to your script as the first argument:

    proc main {} {

    package require cmdline

    # # Global Variables

    global ::argv

    set project_name [lindex $argv 1]

    ...

    }
