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

[David Weintraub]

The -x only works for file names and not client names. You have to
delete clients one at a time, but if you're on Unix, this will do the
trick in Bourne, Bash, or Kornshell:

while read client
do
    p4 client -d $client
done < obsolete_clients_list.txt

If you're in DOS, it's a bit trickier. I think this is it, but you
need to verify it:

    for /F %c in (obsolete_clients_list.txt) do p4 client -d %c
