Hello All,

I am trying to find all the pendinglist files in my perforce depoth opened by me and if there are some pendingfiles in the pendinglist I want to execute :eof funtion, if not I want to do something

When I execute the below mentioned script. I can see the opened files printed on the console but after that the script throwing an error as "- was unexpected at this time."

What should I do to get if there are some pendingfiles in the pendinglist I want to execute :eof funtion, if not I want to do something

What I have tried:

I tried like this 

    <code>@echo off
    cls
    set P4CLIENT=<Workspace_name>
    set P4PORT=<IPadress:port>
    set P4USER=%username%
    
    set Depot_Path=//Depoth/path/...
    
    FOR /F "delims=" %%i IN ('p4 opened -u %username% //Depoth/path/...') DO set open_files=%%i
    echo %open_files%
    
    if %open_files% =="" (
        echo No file are in pendig list
        goto execute
        ) else (
            echo files are in pending list, please submit them if needed or revert them 
            echo %open_files%
            goto eof
        )
    
    :execute
    <Do something>
    :eof</code>

Use double quotes in if "string" == "" () else ()
Not if string == "", or if defined var () else ()

Use double quotes in set "var=string"

At the end of each label, if you don't want the processing to proceed to the next one, use Goto: EoF

You need to use another name on the label: EOF
Cmd.exe (command interpreter) will understand: "Go To End Of File"
And stop batch commands immediately without executing any of the commands on your label: EOF

C:\Users\Shaik Izaz>Goto /?
Directs cmd.exe to a labeled line in a batch program.

GOTO label

  label   Specifies a text string used in the batch program as a label.

You type a label on a line by itself, beginning with a colon.

If Command Extensions are enabled GOTO changes as follows:

GOTO command now accepts a target label of :EOF which transfers control
to the end of the current batch script file.  This is an easy way to
exit a batch script file without defining a label.  Type CALL /?  for a
description of extensions to the CALL command that make this feature
useful.

@echo off & setlocal enableextensions

set "Depot_Path=//Depoth/path/..."

set "P4CLIENT=<Workspace_name>"
set "P4PORT=<IPadress:port>"
set "P4USER=%username%"
    
FOR /F useback^delims^= %%i IN (`p4 opened -u "%username%" "//Depoth/path/..."`) DO set "open_files=%%~i"
echo\%open_files%
    
if "%open_files%" == "" ( 
      echo\No file are in pending list && goto :execute 
	) else (
      echo=files are in pending list, please submit them if needed or revert them 
	  echo=%open_files% 
      goto %:^)
    )
    
    :execute
    <Do something>
	Goto :eOf
    
    %:^)
    rem :: Your :eOf commands came here
    rem :: In lable %:^)
    rem :: Rename the label for some readable..
