Is there a way to revert a file line by line in P4

Question

I want to revert part of changes in a file. I know in p4v you can easily revert files line by line. I am wondering how to do that using p4 command.

Answer 1

Yes you can, assuming your using the default p4merge utility, follow this procedure:

1. Right click on the file in your change-list.
2. Select 'Diff against Workspace file'. (the workspace file is right panel and original is left)
3. Select 'Edit' from the main top menu.
4. Select 'Edit right pane'. (a 3rd pane at the bottom will appear which you can edit)
5. Now browse your changes ...
6. ... To remove a change, click the triangle shape on the right side. (shape icon turns blue)
7. ... To add the change back, click the circle shape on the right side. (shape icon turns green)
8. Quit the editor and save your changes and your done!

Does that help?
