@in p4 filename

Question

I would like a little script p4. Unfortunately, some of the file names we are tracking have an "@" in the file name.

File names are in the form [e-mail] . If I try to do something like p4 sync a\@b.xml on mac (or p4 sync [e-mail] on windows), it will p4 sync [e-mail] error:

Invalid change list / client / label / date '@ b.xml'

Is there any other way to avoid this that perforce will recognize?

Answer 1

Yes. Use an ASCII expression of the hexadecimal value of the character.

p4 sync a%40b.xml
