对包含匹配模式的多个文件执行p4编辑

Question

I have few files inside a folder. But some of the files contain a particular pattern inside them. I want to grep those files and do p4 edit on those files.

I have used this command on my terminal, but it doesnt work.

grep -rl "pattern" * | p4 edit

Note: I am inside the folder in which all the files reside.

Thanks

Answer 1

将grep的输出传递给xargs

grep -rl "pattern" * | xargs p4 edit

Answer 2

The normal way to do this is to do:

grep -rl "pattern" * | p4 -x - edit

p4 help usage explains -x :

The -x flag instructs p4 to read the arguments, one per line, from the specified file. If you specify '-', standard input is read.

Answer 3

I think this information is might useful to someone. First run following command to open all files.

p4 edit ...

Make your changes and run following command to revert the files which are not modified.

p4 revert -a
