Tcl Commands for General Usage
R
file_name specifies the name of the source file(s) you wish to add to the current ISE project.
Path names and wildcards can be used to specify one or more files to add to the project. Tcl
commands support two wildcard characters: asterisk (*) to indicate multiple characters, or
a question mark (?) to indicate a single character.
get (get project file properties)
The xfile get command returns information on the specified project file and its properties.
There are two properties supported for this command: name and timestamp. For example,
if name is the specified property, the Tcl return is the full name of the specified file. If
timestamp is the specified property, the Tcl return is the timestamp of when the file was first
added to the project with the xfile add command.
% xfile get <file_name> <name|timestamp>
xfile is the name of the Xilinx Tcl command.
get is the name of the xfile subcommand.
