[p4] Is there a command in Perforce that could tell me which changelists were included in the last sync I did?

[Chenini, Mohamed]

After doing a p4 -c <workspace> sync

 

u1c332 at plbc0111:~> p4 files '#have' | sed 's/.*change \([0-9]*\).*/\1/'
| sort -un | tail -1

#have - file(s) not on client.

You missed a pipe ('|') before sort. Matt had it at the and of the line.
And it may not work if you haven't synced anything as your message would
indicate.

When trying the command I got this:

u1c332 at plbc0111:~> p4 files '#have' | sed 's/.*change \([0-9]*\).*/\1/'
sort -un | tail -1

sed: can't read sort: No such file or directory

And when I try 

u1c332 at plbc0111:~> p4 files '#have'

#have - file(s) not on client.

It could also be inferred by looking at your have list (I'm assuming
that you

did a 'p4 sync' and didn't just sync a subdirectory).

Something along the lines of:

        p4 files '#have' |                      # list all the files in
your ws

            sed 's/.*change \([0-9]*\).*/\1/' | # strip out all but cl
numbers

            sort -un |                          # uniq/numeric sort

            tail -1                             # and the last value is
it

If you need the changelist number regularly, it's easier to save it as
part

of yout build (if automated) or just check it out beforehand with a
command

like:

        p4 changes -s submitted -m 1

Then sync to that changelist number.  It removes any ambiguity.

PS - You may get slow responses this week.  A lot of us (especially the

        certified trainers and consulting partners) are at the Perforce 

        conference :)
