Commandline source control wildcards

Duncan Lilly (66●10●4) | asked Jun 09 '09, 9:51 a.m.
We are transitioning from SourceSafe to RTC purely as a source control system (no work items, build engines or anything else yet - that may or may not come later). I am working on integrating RTC source control into our existing build system.

As part of our build, anywhere from 0 to more than 400 string tables can be updated. I want to be able to add those changes into my changeset before delivering it. I initially tried: 
scm checkin /Files/*.str

but this doesn't work (it blows up SCM with a java.io.IOException: Invalid argument). The folder contains many other files that have also been modified but we don't want to check back into the source control; so just using "scm checkin /Files" is also not possible.

Is there a way to do this? Or do I have to checkin each of the potentially modifed files from a script that loops through everything?

Many thanks.

Are you using Windows? If so, you might want to look into cygwin or another unix-style shell. We don't do file globbing internally, so we trust that your shell will handle it for us.

I would be interested in seeing the IOException stack trace.

Yes; we are a Windows only shop. Running a separate shell is possibly more work than a script that checks in all the files in a loop. I'll have to try it out.

Thanks for the help.

Here you go:
