Perforce API for the .Net CLR P4.Net

P4Connection.Parse_Form Method 

Parse the raw text of a Perforce form into a P4Form object

[Visual Basic]
Public Function Parse_Form( _
   ByVal formCommand As String, _
   ByVal formContents As String _
) As P4Form
[C#]
public P4Form Parse_Form(
   string formCommand,
   string formContents
);

Parameters

formCommand
The form command.
formContents
Raw contents of the form spec.

Return Value

A P4Form object. The fields of the form can be read or updated. If you update a filed, you can save it with Save_Form.

Remarks

Forms are the things that pop-up in an editor when run from a command line. In P4.Net (and most other Perforce APIs), you do not need to parse/format the text manually. Instead, you can get/set the fields using the Fields and ArrayFields collections.

The following is a list of common form commands:

  • client
  • branch
  • label
  • job
  • user
  • group
  • protect
  • triggers
  • branch
    •

    When fetching or saving a form, do not use the '-o' and '-i' flags. P4.Net will automatically include them.
