# Sample script

The following sample script parses the output of the `p4 fstat` command to report files that are opened where the head revision is not in the client workspace (a potential problem):

Example:

    #!/bin/sh
    # Usage: opened-not-head.sh files
    # Displays files that are open when the head revision is not
    # on the client workspace

    echo=echo
    exit=exit
    p4=p4
    sed=sed

    if [ $# -ne 1 ]
    then
         $echo "Usage: $0 files"
         $exit 1
    fi

    $p4 fstat -Ro $1 | while read line
    do
         name=`$echo $line | $sed 's/^[\. ]\+\([^ ]\+\) .*$/\1/'`
         value=`$echo $line | $sed 's/^[\. ]\+[^ ]\+ \(.*\)$/\1/'`

         if [ "$name" = "depotFile" ]
         then
             depotFile=$value

         elif [ "$name" = "headRev" ]
         then
             headRev=$value

         elif [ "$name" = "haveRev" ]
         then
             haveRev=$value

             if [ $headRev != $haveRev ]
             then
                 $echo $depotFile
             fi
         fi
    done
