copy a versioned files in clearcase

Question

Hi , I need a perl script using I can copy a versioned file (using extended path) to a directory . the simple copy command here does not working. here the versioned files

K:\views\jah\hakgs\sr\th\test.java@@\main\branch\view\1
K:\views\jah\hakgs\sr\th\test.java@@\main\branch\view\2
K:\views\jah\hakgs\sr\th\test.java@@\main\branch\view\3

I want these files copy and stored outside the view to a directory.like the first versionned file must store in folder name 1,second file in folder 2,3rd file in 3. Is it possible to do with a perl script.

Please give any suggestion.Many thanks in advance

Answer 1

The problem is:

if the simple copy does not work, the script Perl won't either.

I suppose K:\views\jah... refers to a snapshot view.

I would recommend first to create a dynamic view and try the same extended path (I assume hakgs is a VOB):

copy M:\jah_views\hakgs\sr\th\test.java@@\main\branch\view\1 \path\to\your\Directory1

If it works, then you can encapsulate it in a script Perl using my ClearCase Perl Package.

Hi VonC, Thanks for your reply.infact I am considering the dynamic views only,I have temporary repository location created and I need to copy the files with version from the dynamic view to the temporary repository.The problem is the simple copy is not working as it contains the extended path.I used Cleatool get command to copy but even I have a list of 1000 files with different version and the rename of the files to the element name after copying.any guidance please
