Using Perforce

[TheBigDuck]

Hi,

I'd like create a UI using Revolution and then use the Perforce API to send Perforce commands to a Perforce Server.

Can this be done with Revolution?

Perforce offers Perl, Ruby and C++ API's, does Revolution offer some bridge to these languages?

Thanks in advance!

Do you have a link handy?

Hi Duck,

quick guess, you could use the Perforce command line tool p4 and then use "shell" to do what you want.

You can also use vbscript from within Revolution to interact with Perforce.

You can use p4 change and p4 submit -i

Example VBScripts can be found here:

Ok, I can see how I can send shell commands.

In Terminal, I do "p4 info" and I get
Perforce client error:
Connect to server failed; check $P4PORT.
TCP connect to perforce failed.
perforce: host unknown.

Which is fine, this means the p4 command executed, but didn't have enough info to connect.

In Revolution, I do:
put shell ("p4 info")

and get: /bin/sh: line 1: p4: command not found

Any help?

[TheBigDuck]

You have type the path to the executable which is at usr/bin/p4

so

put shell ("usr/bin/p4 info") works like a champ.

Thanks for everyone's help.
