[p4] Files with double quotes

[Ivey, William]

Dan's example bypassed the editor invocation by putting
the description on the command line. When you invoke an
editor it appears that p4 submit does a more thorough
syntax check which includes the file names and that is
when it sees what it thinks is a problem. This has
nothing to do with the editor, of course.

Have you tried simply escaping the " with \ before you
exit your editor? (Or enclose the entire line in single
quotes - that might also let the syntax check ignore it.)

Hello Dan,

Thanks for the example. I see you can do that on the command line. If I
do p4 submit, my editor opens (emacs to be specific) and after I close
it I get:

$  p4 submit 

Error in change specification.

Error detected at line 33.

No matching end quote in '//depot/xpto".h # add'.

Hit return to continue...

 

Is there a way to escape the double quotes in the editor?
