Changing workspace clobber option directly from Perforce command line
perforce, perforce-client-spec
Solution
It's pretty easy to script this with Perl, Python, Ruby, or even Powershell. Here's a one-liner in Powershell:
`p4 client -o | %{$_ -replace "noclobber", "clobber"} | p4 client -i`
Problem
How to change perforce specs from command line? What I want to do is, I have a workspace whose clobber option is set to `noclobber` (default value). Now I want to change it to `clobber`. I know I can do it directly from `p4v`, but I don't want that. I also know that if I run `p4 client`, it will open P4CONFIG file in text editor, where I can change `noclobber` to `clobber` and save the file and it's done, but I also don't want that. Please tell me the specific command which directly changes `noclobber` to `clobber` without using `p4v` or without editing P4CONFIG.
