[p4] Scripting label creation

[Yamuna Ramasubramaniyan]

This brings up the editor and thus kills automation.

 

Thanks,

Yamuna

there is an option "-t" in label i.e. 

 

"p4 label -f -t template newlabel"

 

probably that can be of help.

	Hello,
	
	I am trying to script label creation to go along with our daily
builds
	(I am aware that labeling is wasteful and there are better
methods, but
	that's for phase II of our build system). I can't make sense of
the p4
	label command though. I'm trying to avoid cat file | p4 label
-i, but I
	can't seem to find any way around it.
	
	Here's what I have:
	P4 label -o -t TemplateLabel newLabel > temp.file
	editlabelDescription(temp.file) --- I need to store a
description of
	the label
	cat temp.file | p4 label -i
	
	I'm sure there are more elegant solutions, could someone please
	enlighten me? 
	
	Thanks,
	Yamuna
