FOR /F %%K IN('cleartool ls -recurse -short -nxn ') DO ( cleartool describe %%K | Find "labels:") > temp.txt
It gives an error
Syntax of command is incorrect
If you need to find files with a specific label, it is easier to use the cleartool find command, as in "ClearCase list of files with given label type applied"
cleartool find . –version "lbtype(MY_LABEL-1.0)"
The Report Builder (also known in ClearCase Explorer as Report Wizard) can also allow you can navigate to Elements/Labels, which has the "Elements with Labels" and "Versions with Labels" reports.
More generally, your command would be better done in an -exec directive of a cleartool find command:
cleartool find . -exec "cleartool descr -fmt \"%n %l\n\" \"%CLEARCASE_PN%\""
(as in "how to find all the labels for a given file in clearcase")

I want to find all the files that have been changed on a label (eg label1) from my view. label1 Can be be applicable to multiple branches as well.
I tried following command, it did not work:
cleartool findmerge . -fve "{lbtype(label 1)}" -print
What would be the correct command?
If you want to find all the files that are labelled 'label1', a cleartool find would be more adequate than cleartool findmerge.
cleartool find . –version 'lbtype(label1)' -print
For listing the files (and not their versions) on all branches:
cleartool find -all -element '{lbtype_sub(label1)}'

I am a new user to Clearcase/CCRC :
I want to learn using cleartool commands in windows platform for CCRC.
I have created a snapshot view using CCRC.
I want to search for a first occurence of a string in a file (in all the branches) using cleartool command.
For eg :
If a func name XXXX is introduced in File Y at version 10, then i want the command which will search for the function XXXX (in file Y) from base version till the version the function is introduced and should output me as version 10.
Please help me to do this.
Once your snapshot view is loaded, you don't need a cleartool command.
You can use a simple grep command in order to search within the files.
A cleartool find command would be useful to search for a string within the message comment of a version of a file, not for the file content itself. See those examples
UNIX/Linux:
cleartool find -all -ver "! lbtype(<non-existing label>)" -exec 'cleartool
desc -fmt "Version: %n\tComment: %c\n\n" $CLEARCASE_XPN' | grep <the string
you are looking for>
Windows:
cleartool find -all -ver "! lbtype(<non-existing label>)" -exec "cleartool
desc -fmt \"Version: %n\tComment: %c\n\n\" %CLEARCASE_XPN%" | findstr "<the
string you are looking for>"
For a given file, you can list all versions with fmt_ccase:
cleartool find -name "yourfile" -exec "cleartool desc -fmt \"%Ln\" \"%CLEARCASE_XPN%\" && cleartool diff -pred \"%CLEARCASE_XPN%\"|grep XXXX"
(note: on Windows, you can use grep with GoW: Gnu on Windows)
The idea is to list all versions for a given file, and for each:
print the version (cleartool desc -fmt "%Ln")
diff with the previous version and grep for XXXX
In ClearCase suppose I have a branch App_Feb_Branch. Now I want to know if any Tag or Label has been created from this branch. How can I get this information?
You can list baselines (for ClearCase UCM) or grep for version with a label (for base ClearCase).
See "Command to find labels applied on particular branch":
ct find . -nrec -name "." -ver "brtype(myBranch)" -exec "cleartool descr -fmt "%l" \"%CLEARCASE_XPN%\""
With fmt_ccase formatting options, you can use the %l to only display labels for the versions found.
That is what the cleartool descr -fmt "%l" \"%CLEARCASE_XPN%\" part of the cleartool find above does.
Is there a command in Cleartool which i can use to list all files which have been removed from a branch?
Thanks
The basic command to find anything in ClearCase is... cleartool find, also illustrated in "ClearCase UCM: Need to See Content of Deleted File".
In your case, you would search for versions of files which aren't at the LATEST of a branch:
cleartool find . -type f -version "! version(.../BRANCH/LATEST)" -print
(see version selector for more on this '.../' notation)
To display only the file (and not all the versions):
cleartool find . -type f -element "! version(.../BRANCH/LATEST)" -print
The OP linuxlewis mentions in the comments:
this will show all differences which exist between sibling branches. I just want to be able see the file names,if any were removed,from the current branch
I mention the possibility of a grep for BRANCH, to detect files which have versions in BRANCH but not LATEST)
However, a cleaner solution is to add another filter to the search: && version(.../BRANCH)
cleartool find . -type f -element "! version(.../BRANCH/LATEST) && version(.../BRANCH)" -print
That will search all "elements" (files or directories in ClearCase) which have versions in branch BRANCH, but not one in BRANCH/LATEST.
I could not find the proper command to apply a label to files which are in my current view. I have tried the following command:
cleartool mklabel -r TEST_LABEL /vob/test/a
However, the problem is that this command will apply the "Test_Label" label to every files in the "vob/test/a" directories regardless of whether the files are in my current view.
Is there any command to apply label only to the files listed in my current view?
cleartool mklabel -r(ecurse) LABEL_NAME <directory name>
This command will apply LABEL_NAME to all files in folder and below of your view, you can just go to that directory,then type following command to create and apply label
> cd /vob/test/a
> cleartool mklbtype –nc TEST_LABEL
> cleartool mklabel -r TEST_LABEL .
The mklabel documentation state states, as to what version is labeled:
Processes the entire subtree of each pname that is a directory element (including pname itself). VOB symbolic links are not traversed during the recursive descent into the subtree.
One example mentions:
Attach that label to the version of the current directory selected by your view, and to the currently selected version of each element in and below the current directory.
Now, if you want to be really sure of the versions actually labelled, one solution is to use a find command, combined with your mklabel:
cleartool find . -cview -exec "cleartool mklabel TEST_LABEL \"%CLEARCASE_XPN%\""
If you had already that label applied to incorrect version and want to move it:
cleartool find . -cview -exec "cleartool mklabel -replace TEST_LABEL \"%CLEARCASE_XPN%\""
That way, you can first list the versions involved:
cleartool find . -cview -print
And then, if you agree with the output, apply the mklabel through the -exec directive.
The OP user1096966 reports making it work with a cleartool ls, to be sure to select only element visible in the current view:
cleartool ls -r -vis
The is no '-exec' directive, so a pipe might be involved, as in (not tested, but you get the idea):
cleartool ls -r -vis -s -nxn | xargs cleartool mklabel -replace TEST_LABEL
The doco is really clear about what is being labelled, in fact the first example shown in doco states that exactly...current view objects are labelled by default & currently selected versions (i.e. if in your view then label it, else not.)
....extract below from doco below (note: context and command and that label-type-selector pname is the last parameter...left blank below because resident in working dir)...
Example:
•Create a label type named REL6. Attach that label to the version of the current directory selected by your view, and to the currently selected version of each element in and below the current directory.
cmd-context> mklbtype –nc REL6
