Trying to use .bset env "VAR...
I am tryiing to use the following in a step and it gives me cleartool desc error
.bset env "VAR=`perl -e "qx(cleartool desc -fmt %An stream:STREAM@\\pvob"`"
and I get the error cleartool: Error: Object not selected... and it gives me cleartool describe help.
However, if I use lsstream -s instead of desc -fmt.... it seems to work fine.
I am not able to get desc -fmt to work.
Also is there an easy way if I dont' have the adapters to print the existing baseline in the stream in an email.
I don't want to save anything locally on the machine to make it work, I just want a variable.
Thanks,
Sunil

Hi Sunil,
What operating system is your agent running on? Sometimes, things like \\ don't translate well across the different platforms (ex. \\ ending up as \). One thing you might consider is to have a file with the command in your source control system that can be checked out. Then you could use the bset backtick command to just invoke that file.

It really allows "" within "" like that? I would have expected the
parser for .bset
to get confused and parse it as
.bset env
"VAR=`perl -e "
qx(cleartool desc -fmt %An stream:STREAM@\\pvob
kaboom kaboom KABOOM!: arguments not in double quotes
Are the parsing rules documented?
