Posted on behalf of forum user 'Sambwise'. In the shell, "-i" means to read the form from stdin, which is why you have commands of the form "p4 client -o | p4 client -i" to create a spec. In the days before "--field" you could do stuff like: p4 change -o | sed -e "s/<.*>/my description/" | p4 shelve -i which uses the same "-o | -i" paradigm but with regex-based substitution. In the various APIs, there's usually some replacement for stdin as a way to feed data into a "-i" command, sometimes with the Spec::Format baked in (I think the Python API makes this a little nicer than the Perl API does). -- Please click here to see the post in its original format: http://forums.perforce.com/index.php?/topic/5600-passing-description-into-p4-shelve-using-p4-perl-module _______________________________________________ perforce-user mailing list - [email protected] http://maillist.perforce.com/mailman/listinfo/perforce-user
