I am interested to obtain the revision number of a file given a specific date or time period in Perforce.
If I use p4 files, I find that if there are no new submissions on that time period, the comment returned when the p4 command is executed is:
no revision(s) after that date
Full example as below:
% p4 files //depot/project/file_a.c@2018/03/06,@2018/03/07
//depot/project/file_a.c@2018/03/06,@2018/03/07 - no revision(s) after that date
But the information I am looking for is the revision number of file_a.c between 2018/03/06 and 2018/03/07, regardless whether there are submission during that dates or otherwise. Something like this would be good:
//depot/project/file_a.c#31 - edit change 12345678
Am I using the right Perforce command? Thanks for the help.
It sounds like what you're really asking for is what the latest revision of the file was as of 2018/03/07:
% p4 files //depot/project/file_a.c@2018/03/07
