I am creating a sub branch from main branch using the below command. It work fine if the source name contains no space in between. But if a source name contains a blank space in between then it wont create the sub branch. Any idea.

running below command from Dos prompt 

Cleartool find <<path where I should start branching>> -nxname -exec "cleartool mkbranch -c "comments" -nco TEST_BRANCH %CLEARCASE_PN%"

For ex:-
if my cleaar contains the source

  • ABC (source)
  • ABC DEF (single file name)
  • CD&AB (single file name)

If I run the above command it will create a sub branch for ABC and for other 2 it wont branch. It throws an error :- cannot find the path name.

thanks in advance

    Just add some double-quotes (for windows cleartool commands):

    cleartool find <<path where I should start branching>> -nxname
  -exec "cleartool mkbranch -c "comments" -nco TEST_BRANCH \"%CLEARCASE_PN%\""

    Note the ‘\"‘ around the %CLEARCASE_PN% (representing the ‘PathName’ of a clearcase element).

    I also tried ‘triple double-quotes’ successfully before:

    cleartool find <<path where I should start branching>> -nxname
  -exec "cleartool mkbranch -c "comments" -nco TEST_BRANCH """%CLEARCASE_PN%""""
