Hey guys. I am quite new to this, so this might sound like a silly question, but bare with me.

I am using the command

p4 changes -m 1 -s submitted //depot/mainline/...@2015/05/10

in order to get the most recent changelist submitted to the mainline as long as it was submitted today. But the problem I am having is that the information coming back out is always from the previous day. So for the line above I will get the latest change from 2015/05/09, which strikes me as quite odd. I guess it is not super hard for me to fix, I just set my script up to add 1 to the current date, but it seems weird and I was just wondering if this is intentional or if I am doing something wrong.

I did a bunch of other checks to make sure I was not being stupid, checked the date on the server and passed the command line a date and time period but to no avail.

Any help is much appriciated! :)

Try this instead:

p4 changes -m 1 -s submitted //depot/mainline/...@2015/05/10,@now

If you provide a single revision specifier to a command that accepts a range, it's taken as the end of the range (where the beginning is unbounded) -- so the query you're running is "show me the first change submitted BEFORE 2015/05/10".  By specifying a range with a beginning and an end, you can indicate that you want changes submitted on or after a date, and on or before right now.

Ahh I see, thanks very much for your help. I had tried the @now paramater but only ever by itself rather than in a range.

Cheers!
