AUTO_TEMPLATE multiple RegEx matches

 );
 */

Above I have two RegEx matches in the Instance Name. Is there a way I can remember both of them in such that I can use them both, like I had shown before. i.e. In my usage above, [0] refers to what got matched against \([0-9]\) and @[1] refers to what got matched against \([A-Z]\).

You can't do it in one step, you need to either match the entire name and then use a lisp-substring function to sub-extract, or just use vl-cell-name. If you can't just pick off substrings you'll need to write a lisp function - see examples that use AUTO_LISP under in the faq.

/*
 Foo AUTO_TEMPLATE(
  .OldPortName\([a-z]\)  (@"(substring vl-cell-name 3 4)"NewPortName\1@"(substring vl-cell-name 5 6)")
 );
 */
