CLI User's Guide - AccuRev

The accurev program recognizes the following filename patterns:
*
[aekz]
[e–k]
Matches any 0 or more characters.
Matches any 1 character.
Matches a, e, k, or z.
Matches e, f, g, h, i, j, or k. Note: do not mix uppercase and lowercase.
{one,two,seven}
/ or \
Matches any of the three strings: one, two, or seven.
Matches any directory-separator character, even if it’s the “wrong one” for the client machine.
For example, src/do_*.java matches src\do_something.java on a Windows client.
Examples:
• The following command displays the status of the files rln_4.1.1.htm, rln_4.1.2.htm, and
rln_4.1.3.htm:
accurev stat rln_4.1..htm
• The following command displays the status of the three files listed above, along with others
such as rln_4.htm, rln_4.5.txt, and rln_4.1.3k-ubuntu.htm:
accurev stat rln_4*.{txt,htm}
But it would not display the status of file rln_4-windows.chm.
• The following command creates new versions of five files, color_f, color_g, ..., color_j.
accurev keep color_[f-j]
Combining File-Status Filters with Filename Patterns
If you use a file-status filter in the same command as a filename pattern, the pattern is applied
before the filter. For example:
-k *.doc
... specifies this two-step selection process:
1. Select all elements in the current directory that have the suffix .doc.
2. Select the subset of those elements that have (kept) status.
