Use wildcards in workspace views
To map groups of files in workspace views, you use Helix Core Server wildcards. Any wildcard used on the depot side of a mapping must be matched with an identical wildcard in the mapping’s client side. You can use the following wildcards to specify mappings in your client workspace:
Wildcard | Description |
---|---|
|
Matches anything except slashes. Matches only within a single directory. Case sensitivity depends on your platform. |
|
Matches anything including slashes. Matches recursively (everything in and below the specified directory). |
|
Positional specifiers for substring rearrangement in filenames. |
In the following simple workspace view, all files in the depot’s
dev
stream are mapped to the corresponding locations in the
client workspace:
//JamCode/dev/... //bruno_ws/dev/...
For example, the file //JamCode/dev/jam/Makefile
is mapped
to the workspace file C:\bruno_ws\dev\jam\Makefile
.
To avoid mapping unwanted files, always precede the ...
wildcard with a forward slash.
The mappings in workspace views always refer to the locations of files and directories in the depot; you cannot refer to specific revisions of a file in a workspace view.
