Subject:[p4] convert 'p4 files' to local filenames? Quick & dirty client backup script?

Hi,

we're trying to write a script users can run to tar up all their opened files. (This is a management directive... we don't want anyone to loose a couple weeks worth of work because he didn't check it in.)

tar -czf backup.tar `p4 files | perl magical_filter.pl` would probably do... I could write magical_filter.pl myself, using 'p4 client' internally to get the paths, but it'd be nice if somebody else had already written it.

I did try searching google, but didn't find anything obvious.

Thanks, Dan
