[p4] FW: Identifying binary files

[Robert Cowham]

Yes via command line by piping to grep or findstr (or via simple
ruby/python/perl script).

Commands such as p4 fstat as opposed to p4 files, or p4 -ztag files can
sometimes be useful. 

(On windows with Unxutils installed)
p4 files //... | grep "\(.*binary.*\)$"
or
p4 fstat //... | grep -2 "headType.*binary" | grep depotFile

You might want to ignore deleted files - exercise for reader!

For GUIs it's a case of wrapping the above in a custom tool.

This may not have been the answer you were hoping for :)
