If you run a normal perforce command like this
1 2 3 4 | p4 files -m3 ... //depot/da/infra/dmx/main/lib/python/dmx/tnrlib/__init__.py#1 - add change 4491003 (text+kx) //depot/da/infra/dmx/main/lib/python/dmx/tnrlib/audit_check.py#57 - edit change 5716075 (text+kx) //depot/da/infra/dmx/main/lib/python/dmx/tnrlib/css/style.css#1 - branch change 4757380 (text+k) |
With the -ztag ...
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 | p4 -ztag files -m3 ... ... depotFile //depot/da/infra/dmx/main/lib/python/dmx/tnrlib/__init__.py ... rev 1 ... change 4491003 ... action add ... type text+kx ... time 1473325143 ... depotFile //depot/da/infra/dmx/main/lib/python/dmx/tnrlib/audit_check.py ... rev 57 ... change 5716075 ... action edit ... type text+kx ... time 1556850031 ... depotFile //depot/da/infra/dmx/main/lib/python/dmx/tnrlib/css/style.css ... rev 1 ... change 4757380 ... action branch ... type text+k ... time 1494905434 |
Now, say, I'd like to have perforce report out the following info in 3 columns, separated by :::, like this
1 | depotFile ::: revision ::: type
|
All I need to do is run the following:-
1 2 3 4 | p42 -ztag -F "%depotFile% ::: %rev% ::: %type%" files -m3 ... //depot/da/infra/dmx/main/lib/python/dmx/tnrlib/__init__.py ::: 1 ::: text+kx //depot/da/infra/dmx/main/lib/python/dmx/tnrlib/audit_check.py ::: 57 ::: text+kx //depot/da/infra/dmx/main/lib/python/dmx/tnrlib/css/style.css ::: 1 ::: text+k |
... and here you go :)
