Find and check out a file to particular changelist in Perforce

I want to search for various files in the the depot and check them out in a changelist. There is large number of files so I want to do it using commands.

I have tried the command p4 -c client_name where abc.java but it is not able to search inside the directory.

First set your client name so that you don't have to keep typing it into each command...

p4 set P4CLIENT=client_name

Are you trying to open all of the files named abc.java regardless of which directory they're in?

p4 edit //.../abc.java

Or just under the current directory?

p4 edit .../abc.java

Or all .java files?

p4 edit //....java

Or all files that were submitted by user bob during the month of April 2018?

p4 -F @=%change% -Ztag changes -u bob @2018/04/01,@2018/04/30 | p4 -F %depotFile% -x - files | p4 -x - edit

To make these files go into a particular pending changelist that you've already created on this client, add -c CHANGE to the p4 edit command.
