Perforce: How to create a list of files from a changelist?

I want to create a list of files from a changelist in Perforce. I am using command line to open files for adding (mark for add) and deleting (mark for delete) into a changelist, I successfully created them and now I want these changelist's to be in a list. Is there a Perforce command for it? How?

For a pending changelist, use the p4 opened command. The -c flag lets you limit it to a specific changelist (including the "default changelist", which is really "files that are open on this client but not in a changelist yet").

C:\Perforce\test>p4 opened
//stream/main/bar#2 - integrate change 118 (text+S3)
//stream/main/foo#3 - edit default change (text)

C:\Perforce\test>p4 opened -c default
//stream/main/foo#3 - edit default change (text)

If you want just the filenames you can do something like:

C:\Perforce\test>p4 -F %depotFile% opened -c default
//stream/main/foo

For a submitted changelist, I like the p4 files command better than p4 describe because the output is easier to parse:

C:\Perforce\test>p4 files @=117
//stream/main/mob/nextproject/custom/configuration#2 - integrate change 117 (text)

If ever someone bumps into the same situation. You can use p4 describe to get the list of files in your changelist. The only backdown here is that you can't use this for the default changelist, you need to have a numbered changelist in your Perforce.

p4 describe changelist_number

or if you want to generate a file after this list

p4 describe changelist_number > list.txt
