open/edit all files of depot using p4 add/edit command

Question

Is it possible to add all new files using p4 add command.

Actually I do not want to pass each file names or any wild chard pattern with p4 add command.

same question for p4 edit operation. Edit all files which are modified at client side.

Any suggestions?

Look at http://kb.perforce.com/UserTasks/WorkingDisconnected, in particular:

p4 diff -se //myclient/... | p4 -x - edit
find . -type f -print | p4 -x - add

If you are connected, then it's better to do p4 edit before editing files, as that allows other people to see that you are editing the files.
