Sample script

The following sample script parses the output of the p4 fstat command to report files that are opened where the head revision is not in the client workspace (a potential problem):

Example

#!/bin/sh
# Usage: opened-not-head.sh files
# Displays files that are open when the head revision is not
# on the client workspace

echo=echo
exit=exit
p4=p4
sed=sed

if [ $# -ne 1 ]
then
     $echo "Usage: $0 files"
     $exit 1
fi

$p4 fstat -Ro $1 | while read line
do
     name=`$echo $line | $sed 's/^[\. ]\+\([^ ]\+\) .*$/\1/'`
     value=`$echo $line | $sed 's/^[\. ]\+[^ ]\+ \(.*\)$/\1/'`

     if [ "$name" = "depotFile" ]
     then
         depotFile=$value

     elif [ "$name" = "headRev" ]
     then
         headRev=$value

     elif [ "$name" = "haveRev" ]
     then
         haveRev=$value

         if [ $headRev != $haveRev ]
         then
             $echo $depotFile
         fi
     fi
done
