Question

I’m using the code:

"c:\Program Files (x86)\ibm\RationalSDLC\ClearCase\bin\cleartool.exe" find . -name "*" -ver "created_by(someuser)" -print > c:\my_checkins.txt

to find a list of my check-ins in ClearCase. I’d like to include the date of the check-in. Can I do that? If so, how? Can I have the results sorted by the check-in date?

Thanks.

You can add an -exec directive to describe and format the result of each version you are finding with your cleartool find query.

Instead of using -print, you can combine a find with a formatted describe (Windows syntax):

 cleartool.exe" find . -name "*" -ver "created_by(someuser)" -exec "cleartool descr -fmt \"%n - %d\" \"%CLEARCASE_XPN%\""

%CLEARCASE_XPN% being the extended pathname of one of the versions found by the query.

See the fmt_ccase page.

You might want to use the format “%Nd - %n\n” if you want to sort by date, because is %Nd is a date expressed as yyyymmdd.time.
