I would like to list the available labels matching a particular string applied in the view.

I confirm a filter in cleartool find is not possible:

 ct find . -ele "lbtype_sub(My_LAB*)" -print

would not work (no wildcard in query argument.

If you cannot use a grep in a shell pipe, can you consider using grep in an exec part of a find, like in this example?

ct find . -kind lbtype -exec "echo %CLEARCASE_PN%|grep MY_LAB"

If this is not acceptable, you need to write the result in a file and process it with another tool (sed?)

You have packages for Windows including Unix commands: see this SO question.
Of you have freeware emulating the grep command.

If you must stay with native Windows commands, you must redirect the result in a file, and use FIND (English translation).

  • Thanks , this is running on windows , hence was in need of excluding the grep. – Raj Jul 27 '10 at 10:46

Hmm. I'm not entirely sure about this although the following will list all labels used for a given VOB (entered using ClearTool command line application).

lstype -kind lbtype -invob vob_path_and_name -short

for example with a View mapped to drive U: VOB "Some_VOB" would be:

lstype -kind lbtype -invob U:\Some_VOB -short

  • True, but need to filter based on the string passed. I can easily do it using the grep , but the limitation is that grep should not be used. Hence the only option left is to use the cleartool find command . Any idea would be appreciated. – Raj Jul 27 '10 at 09:59
  • I don't think that a wildcard can be used here, I was going to suggest a Perl script and then grep the results, but you say that you can't use grep. I'll have to think further. – ChrisBD Jul 27 '10 at 11:33
