Hi,

how can I prevent users from adding files or directories whose names contain spaces?

I can imagine doing it with p4 protect as suggested by J. Bowles recently in http://maillist.perforce.com/pipermail/perforce-user/2002-October/027905.html He suggested adding p4 protect lines like write user * * -//depot/.../*.class to prevent users from checking in java class files. So I'd use write user * * -"//depot/.../* *" to keep users from checking in files with spaces, right?

What about directory names? Would write user * * -"//depot/... ..." work? If not, I suppose a kludge like write user * * -"//depot/* */..." write user * * -"//depot/*/* */..." write user * * -"//depot/*/*/* */..." write user * * -"//depot/*/*/*/* */..." etc. might do.

Thanks, Dan
