Add support for arbitrary/custom fields in part description

Open psychogenic opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

Greetings, I wanted a way to easily generate symbols for part--which kipart is great at--while specifying certain extra fields for spice simulation.

I've pushed this patch to enable this functionality, while keeping it generic and general purpose. In short, this version supports a 7th field that can hold any number of entries for the part, in the form A=B VendorPN=1234ABC

etc. Which creates appropriate F* entries in the generated lib.

I've included an example-with-customfields.csv. Hopefully this will be useful to you and others as well.

I'm going through my backlog of old PRs. kipart has changed significantly since you submitted this PR. I'm going to keep this open for a while in (the unlikely) case you want to add this feature to the current release. I hate it when somebody's efforts are wasted because I've been lazy, and I do apologize for that.
