In my codebase; I see line <123> is in a specific file; and i’d like to see when it was introduced. I can do ‘p4 annotate’ to find when it was last modified; but i’m sure there is a way to step back to introduction.. I’m using 2009.2; not the latest if that matters…

p4 annotage | grep

p4 annotage myFile#rev-1 | grep

p4 annotage myFile#rev-1 | grep

    If you have p4v installed, you should use the time-lapse view. That will give you an accounting of all lines in the file, who introduced or changed those change, what changelist, etc. Timelaspse is an awesome tool and will give you what you need without needing to resort to grepping through old versions.
