[p4] p4 -x- flag with client -d?

[Melissa Kacher]

You can only delete one client at a time. You have to run "p4 client -d" n 
times to delete n clients. You are only running the command once, with all 
of your clients on the same command line.

So you need something like:
for /f %%x in (obsolete_clients_list.txt) do p4 client -d %%x
But I haven't tested this for syntax correctness.

I am trying to delete a batch of obsolete clients, but I can't use the
-x flag as I would expect:



p4 -x obsolete_clients_list.txt client -d



cat obsolete_clients_list.txt | p4 -x- client -d



both give a usage error for the client command.



Any thoughts?



Thanks,
