Perforce P4 Submit command line option

I would like to know if there is a way to use p4 Submit with comments contained in a comment file. i.e p4 Submit "Comment File.txt" fileName

Thanks

You can load the contents of the comment file into an environment variable and then pass that to the submit command.

set /p p4description=<"Comment File.txt"
p4 submit -d "%p4description%"

::you can then get rid of that environment variable...
set p4description=

You can use the -i option to read the changelist spec (including the comment) from a file or stdin. Something like

mumblemumble.pl > changelistspec.txt
p4 submit -i < changelistspec.txt

The format of the changlelistspec.txt is the same as the file that pops up when you run p4 submit interactively. Use 

p4 submit -d

to view the changelistspec. Your script or whatever needs to output in that format.
